Kentucky Trees
This website provides information on many of the common trees native to Kentucky. We hope you find it informative. This site is maintained by the Department of Horticulture at the University of Kentucky and is a collaborative effort between Robert Geneve, Richard Durham, Christy Cassady and Tom Shearin. Special thanks to Timothy Geneve for help with the propagation section. Partial funding for this site comes from the Kentucky Division of Forestry, Leah W. MacSwords, Director.
