Ptelea trifoliata, commonly called hop tree, is actually a deciduous shrub. This shrub features shiny, dark green leaves that turn greenish yellow in autumn, as well as tiny white flowers that bloom in the spring. This is a low-maintenance plant that is drought-tolerant and can be grown in full shade. Host plant to the larvae of the giant swallowtail butterfly.
