flowers
Rich forests, usually along rivers and streams. A handsome flowering small tree reaching the northern edge of its range in southern Michigan, where it brightens moist forests locally in early spring. Also widely cultivated; the Genesee and Mecosta Co. collections, and probably a few others from fields and forests near cities are likely spread from cultivation.
Flowers may arise from older branches or even the trunk (cauliflory), a feature usually associated with tropical trees. See also Gleditsia.
