Hop Tree Wafer Ash Ptelea trifoliata 100 Seeds

Ptelea trifoliata, commonly known as common hoptree or wafer ash, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to North America, particularly found in eastern and central regions of the United States and parts of Canada. Here's a description of its key characteristics: Appearance: Common hoptree typically grows to a height of 10-15 feet (3-4.5 meters), although it can occasionally reach up to 25 feet (7.5 meters). It has a spreading, irregularly rounded crown and a generally open, airy growth habit. The bark is light gray and smooth on young stems, becoming rougher and fissured with age. Leaves: The leaves are compound, consisting of three leaflets, giving rise to the species name "trifoliata." Each leaflet is elliptical to ovate, with serrated margins, and measures 1-3 inches (2.5-7.5 cm) in length. The leaves are dark green above and paler beneath, turning yellow in the fall. Flowers: Common hoptree produces small, inconspicuous greenish-yellow flowers in late spring to early summer. Th
