Description

Popular for its bright pinnate foliage, Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia' has clear yellow leaves in spring that turn lime green throughout the summer and golden yellow in autumn. Racemes of white pea-like fragrant flowers hang elegantly from the branches in May and June. The common name of False Acacia comes from these beautiful flowers that resemble those on Acacia. The flowers are followed by dark brown seeds that adorn the branches once the autumn leaf colour has fallen.

Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia' is a stunning upright, medium sized ornamental tree that will grow to approximately 8 x 4 metres in 20 years. It will grow in most positions where exposure to wind is avoided. Well drained, acidic soils are preferred, but chalky soils or dry conditions will also be tolerated very well.

Robinia 'Frisia' is a popular tree, deserving of a space in any planting scheme where it will will provide a dramatic splash of colour throughout spring, summer and autumn.

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.
