Kentucky Coffeetree, Gymnocladus dioicus, is a relatively rare Midwestern US species, whose range includes New Jersey. There are a number of these trees along Estaugh Way near the Meadow on the Medford Campus. The tree bears large, pea-like pods containing hard seeds that at one time were roasted by pioneers to make a coffee substitute, hence the common name.
