Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia'
false acacia 'Frisia'
Glorious, almost fluorescent yellow foliage, that turns yellow-green in summer, then orange-yellow in autumn, is accompanied by clusters of fragrant white flowers in late spring and early summer. A vigorous, broadly columnar tree (often with thorny shoots), it makes an excellent specimen for a sunny, sheltered garden.
How to care for Robinia pseudoacacia Frisia:
Plant Robinia in a sunny spot with free-draining soil, setting it at the same depth it grew in the pot and watering well in the first couple of seasons to help it root in. Keep the area around the base clear of weeds, mulch lightly each spring to hold moisture, and avoid digging near the root zone as this encourages suckers. Stake firmly.
Shelter the tree from strong winds, prune only lightly in mid to late summer, and remove any suckers as soon as they appear.
