Robinia pseudoacacia
Black locust
Black locust builds an upright, columnar crown to 20-25 m with a spread of 10-15 m, on thorny shoots carrying dark green pinnate leaves. White pea flowers hang in racemes in summer. It copes with poor, dry soil and is often used on difficult sites.

About sizes
CLT is a container volume in litres, VRL the same in a decorative red container. M is a field-grown plant lifted with its root ball, MGR the same grown in isolation and wire-balled. RN is bare root, available in the dormant season. T is a full standard and POT a planter. Heights are given as a range in centimetres; trunk girth is the circumference measured at one metre. A larger container is not always dearer: a trained or grafted form of the same volume costs more than a bush, and the form is named on the row.
