Golden Robinia

Akin to its parent, the Golden Locust is an incredibly tough tree, tolerant of drought. Amazing gold-coloured pinnate leaves with small round leaflets and creamy-white pea-like flowers are produced in drooping clusters from late spring. Popular in cityscapes thanks to its resistance to pollution and poor air quality. It is a must-have for any garden that allows enough space and shelter. Well drained soil vital.

Please note, branches can be very brittle and may have some small breakages in transit.
