About Gymnocladus Dioicus Trees: The Gymnocladus Dioicus is a large round-barked tree belonging to the legume family and reaches heights of 60 to 100 feet. Its short trunk, 1 to 2 feet in diameter, divides into several large branches that end in contorted, stout twigs. Twice-compound leaves are arranged feather-fashion in 3-7 pairs of leaflets, which are more or less ovalish without marginal teeth and 2-4 inches long. The tree is most easily identified in fall and winter for its large depressed leaf scars.
