Robinia Hillieri

Robinia Hillieri Details

Robinia Hillieri is a deciduous tree grown for its foliage, flowers, and lovely form. The fern-like foliage emerges light green in spring, ages to dark green, then turns varying shades of yellow in autumn before falling. The foliage is complemented with pendulous clusters of light pink flowers in late spring. It grows with an upright and somewhat broad habit to about 7 m tall and 6 m wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. It grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, semi-sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and dry periods. Robinia Hillieri is commonly grown as a specimen, planted to border an entrance, used in avenue plantings, or included in a mixed planting where space affords.
