Frisia Golden Locust
Robinia pseudoacacia ‘Frisia’
Frisia Golden Locust is a vibrant foliage tree that brings constant, glowing color to the landscape. Its feathery leaves emerge a brilliant, luminous gold in spring, mature to lime-green, and hold their bright hue all summer before turning yellow in fall. This fast-growing, drought-tolerant pillar of gold is perfect for adding light and contrast to sunny, dry gardens.

Produces small, fragrant white flower clusters in spring, though it is grown primarily for its magnificent foliage display.
