Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia' (Golden Locust) - This selection of the deciduous Locust of Central and Eastern U.S. grows to 25-40 feet tall with a 15 to 20 foot spread. It has golden yellow foliage which darkens before dropping in the fall. As with the species it has pinnately divided leaves of 10-20 leaflets and red spines on young shoots and 6 to 8 inch long clusters of fragrant white flowers in early summer (June here in Santa Barbara). Plant in full sun. Requires very little irrigation. If pruned while young this plant can be trained as a shrub and light pruning is recommended on trees but care should be exercised not to cut large woody stems to avoid fungal infections. This beautiful bright foliaged tree was discovered in an old nursery at Zwollerkerspel, Holland in 1935. Moderately fast growing at about 2'/yr and withstands heat, drought, cold and poor soil once established.
