The highlights

  • Clusters of deep pink blossoms up to 20cm long
  • Bronze leaves change through green to golden yellow
  • Drought, salt and pollution tolerant
  • Grows to 10-15m

Description

  • A fast growing deciduous tree grown in the USA since the 1600s
  • Large, deep pink clusters of lightly scented pea-like blossoms in early summer. Deadhead them and you can expect a second flush of flowering in mid-summer.
  • Pinnate leaves emerge bronze, turn lime green then change to golden yellow in autumn
  • Attractive long, brown seed pods form in autumn
  • Drought tolerant once established - ideal for a dry patch of ground
  • Salt and pollution tolerance make it a great choice for coastal locations and cities.
  • 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
