Description: Common Hoptree Ptelea Trifoliata AKA - Wafer Ash Tree This very unique looking tree grows natively on only one of our farms. It grows on a very, very steep slope. A few feet further down hill, it's so steep you must turn to face the hill and slide backwards to get to the bottom. We called this tree the 'Silver Dollar' Tree because the seeds look like silver dollars. 2022 is the first year we have caught the tree seeding with enough time to collect the many little 'dollars'. We did a little research to find out it's called the Common Hoptree. It was supposedly used when hops were in short supply. The smell of the seeds are pretty unique, but we don't think we would 'brew' them. Our little trees are tucked in a forest of heavy woods with very large trees overhead. This provides little sun and the trees are growing kind of straggly. The tallest ones are about waist high and about 3 feet around. It's the larval host for the Giant Swallowtail butterfly. Carrion Flies pollinate the flowers.
