This dwarf member of the Black Locust family boasts fragrant white flowers hanging delicately from its curled branches in summer. Ideal for large patio pots, 'Lace Lady' offers an architecturally pleasing addition to any outdoor space.
Incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost into the planting hole and backfill. Shelter from strong, drying winds. Prune crowded or damaged branches in mid-summer. Remember to wear protective gloves and long sleeves when pruning robinia trees.
