It is now spread broadly throughout the southeastern US. Tallowtree is allelopathic and has high levels of tannins in the leaf litter, which can alter soil conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Appearance:<\/strong><br>A deciduous tree reaching 60 ft (18.3 m) tall and 3 ft (0.9 m) diameter. Foliage is alternate, triangular to nearly heart-shaped, 2-3 in (5.1-7.6 cm) long with a narrow, pointed tip. Leaf petioles are 1 -3 in (2.5-7.6 cm) long. Flowers late spring to summer. Blooms are yellowish, small, and occur on 8 in (20 cm) long, dangling spikes. Fruit are three-lobed, greenish, and found in clusters at the end of branches. Fruit mature to black and later open revealing white, wax covered seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>More Info:<\/strong><br>Emerging\/expanding leaves are orange-red before turning green. It has attractive autumn colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Report Invasive Species Sightings<\/strong>:  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eddmaps.org\/\">Reporting, maps, and more on invasive, pest, and biocontrol species<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Extension-Holiday-Office-Hours\"><strong>Extension Office Holiday Hours<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope everyone enjoys some down time during the December holiday season!
