Description
Robinia pseudoacacia False Acacia is a bushy medium-sized deciduous tree. Compact, pendulous clusters of creamy white, sometimes slightly pink, aromatic flowers appear in June. These are followed by flat, reddish brown, leathery pods with a winged edge that often stays on the tree throughout the entire winter. The branches bear sharp thorns approx. 3 cm long and the rough, deeply grooved bark is greyish brown. Robinia pseudoacacia thrive on most soils, and have shallow roots that may form many underground runners
