Description

In early summer, Robinia × margaretta 'Pink Cascade' produces a wonderful display of deep pink flowers that hang in racemes around 15-20cm long. The pea-like, large flowers are stronger in colour than most pink flowering False Acacia trees and release a pleasant fragrance. Mid-green, pinnate leaves turn yellow in autumn before falling.

Robinia 'Pink Cascade' has a rounded, open head and you can expect a height and spread of 6x4 metres in 20 years. 'Pink Cascade' is also known as 'Casque Rouge' and it is hybrid between Robinia hispida var. kelsey and Robinia pseudoacacia. It is best grown in full sun although can tolerate some shade.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
