Deciduous Trees For Coastal Areas
Gleditsia triacanthos Skyline
“Skyline” is an impressive, deciduous tree grown for its lovely form and colourful foliage. It carries fine and lush, dark green foliage through spring and summer which turns a bright yellow in autumn before falling. The foliage display is very aesthetic. It grows as an upright spreading tree with a single trunk to about 15 m tall and 6 m wide though it can be trimmed as necessary. This is a hardy tree that grows best in full sun on a well-drained site. It will tolerate frosts, cool climates, and coastal conditions but does require a degree of wind protection to avoid broken branches. “Skyline” makes for a lovely specimen and is ideal for adding to a mixed planting, for avenue planting, or using to border an entranceway. With trimming it is also well suited to outdoor living areas where it will provide good shade.
