Description
Gleditsia triacanthos ‘Sunburst’ or the gold honey locust is a pretty and delicate looking tree which has a rounded and spreading form. The frond-like foliage is often late to appear, emerging a brilliant lime yellow colour and hardening to a darker green as the summer progresses. Unlike its parent, Gleditsia triacanthos ‘Sunburst’ is thornless. This is a great feature tree and is suitable for planting in smaller gardens, as despite being a medium to large sized tree at maturity, its fern like foliage casts a light dappled shade which does not impact too much on the living space of gardens.
