Robinia pseudoacacia, white acacia, height 100 cm, 2-litre pot

Looking for an elegant, fast-growing ornamental tree that offers both endless floral splendour and robust appearance? The Robinia pseudoacacia, often recognised as White Acacia or False Acacia, combines ornamental value with practical application. Ideal for urban or villa gardens, bee stand gardens or as a natural hedge.

Why choose Robinia pseudoacacia?

• Blooms in early to mid-summer with striking, fragrant clusters of white butterfly flowers

• Strong pinnate leaves providing shade and texture, with spiny support leaves (thorns) for structural charm

• Deeply grooved, robust bark provides winter decoration and recognition

• Nitrogen-fixing roots improve jafn garden soil, ideal for poorer sites

• Fast grower thanks to tough wood, adding 60-90 cm every year with ease

Use & care:

The White Acacia thrives in full sun and in well-drained soil. In city parks and along streets, it is valued as a street tree because of its shady crown and low maintenance. Its roots are shallow and can cause root storage, keep this in mind in small borders. The tree requires little pruning, but remove crossing branches and dead pieces in early spring for open structure.

Applications:

• Solitary in borders or lawn as summer flower and eye-catcher

• In combination with herbaceous perennials for bee-friendly borders

• Natural wind or yard barrier with flowers attractive to bees
