Full Description

Few arboretum trees have the same impact through the summer as the popular Golden Locust. The pale golden leaves light up a dark corner backed by copper beech, yew or other evergreens; and dramatically reflects the sun against blue sky. In autumn the golden colour intensifies.

This tree is very tough and hardy. It benefits from pruning back in the first few years after planting if it is tending to outgrow its strength and bend over. Little is yet known about its probable lifespan, but Golden Locust – Robinia Pseudoacacis Frisia can live for 50 years or more.

Eventual height approx. 12-15 metres.

Aftercare

Newly planted trees should be well watered during its first season and make sure not too many weeds which will compete for the water. Remove suckers that appear near base of tree.
