Plant a Hoptree
Plant the Hoptree for the swallowtail butterflies. The swallowtail butterfly is attracted to the fragrant nectar of this tree. This tree is a larval host for the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail as well as the Giant Swallowtail. I hear there is a lemon scent in the air when the flowers come out in April.This is a native Southern Appalachian small tree. It may grow up to 25 feet tall. It has a slender trunk and an open crown.
