Description
Robinia pseudoacacia, a native only to North America, is an adaptable and tough tree which is tolerant of both drought and atmospheric pollution. Spiny shoots are covered by lush, pale green foliage which turns to a good yellow colour in autumn. Once mature, the bark becomes very rugged and deeply fissured. Fragrant, white pea-like flowers are produced in late spring. This tree is the perfect choice for large gardens.
