Description
Honey Locust Tree, known scientifically as Gleditsia triacanthos ‘Sunburst’, is a vibrant tree perfect for adding colour and light to your garden.
The ‘Sunburst’ variety is famous for its stunning golden-yellow foliage that emerges in spring, which transitions into deeper yellow and green shades as the summer progresses. Unlike other Honey Locust Trees, this variety is thornless, making it safer and a bit easier for gardeners.
Thriving in well-drained soil and preferring full sun, Gleditsia triacanthos ‘Sunburst’ is fully hardy, making it a resilient choice for many different garden settings.
Honey Locust Sunburst has a light and airy canopy, that allows dappled sunlight to filter through, making it ideal for planting in areas where you want to create light shade without blocking too much sun.
Gleditsia Sunburst can reach up to 7 metres in height and 5 metres in spread over 20 years, making it a manageable size for most gardens. The tree has an open, spreading habit and grows to have a wonderfully rounded crown.
If you’re looking for a burst of golden-yellow colour from a resilient tree, then Gleditsia triacanthos ‘Sunburst’ is the perfect fit for your garden.
