yellow wood

Pale-timbered legume tree

Yellow wood refers to any of several trees yielding yellowish timber, most notably the American yellowwood native to the southeastern United States, prized for its smooth gray bark and drooping clusters of white flowers.

The wood itself has a yellow color when freshly cut.

In South Africa, yellowwood trees are conifers of a different family, some designated as national symbols.
