Honeylocust Tree | Gleditsia triacanthos 'Sunburst'

A spectacular sunny display

The Highlights

    • This tree makes a spectacular golden display!
    • Sunny yellow spring foliage turns green in summer then reverts to yellow in autumn
    • Fresh white blossoms appear in spring
    • An absolute wildlife magnet, my Honeylocust brings all the bees to the yard.
    • Fast growing and fully hardy
    • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE

Care Guide

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Generally pest and disease free.MORE

A little watering when new

When newly planted, the tree would love a little watering at least once a month for the initial couple of months. Afterwards keep moist but well drained.

Full sun

Position where your tree will receive sunlight for more than 6 hours each day during the spring/summer.

Fertile, well-drained soils

Loam, clay or sandy soil is perfect. You should also consider digging in some organic matter/ compost when planting to improve the soil.

Feed in spring

Apply a general purpose fertiliser when growth starts in the spring - your tree would also benefit from a mulch at the same time. ?v=1613300718
