Robinia Frisia, commonly known as False Acacia, is a beautiful ornamental tree known for its bright yellow foliage. This variety of Robinia is prized for its vibrant, feathery leaves.
The leaves almost turn a shade of light green throughout the summer months. Before leaf fall, the colour develops into a deep orange-yellow, which makes a fantastic autumnal focal point.
During late spring, Robinia Frisia produces white, fragrant flowers that hang beautifully from the branches. These flowers look fantastic and also attract bees and other pollinators to your garden space.
Robinia Frisia is a fast-growing tree, which has a broadly columnar structure and a bushy habit. False Acacia has an upright, elegant form and can reach a height of up to 7 metres with a spread of around 5 metres. This makes it a great choice for larger gardens, or as a statement tree in a mixed border.
Robinia Frisia thrives in well-drained, fairly fertile soil and needs a position in full sun to achieve the best leaf colour and growth. Although, it’s worth noting that once established, it is relatively low maintenance. False Acacia is also fully hardy and able to withstand the varying weather conditions.
We highly recommend planting False Acacia next to darker plants to really bring out the golden yellow hues. Think deep purples, or dark greens to truly bring out the brightness.
Whether you're looking to add a splash of colour to your landscape or create a stunning feature, Robinia Frisia is a great choice. Its golden foliage, combined with its elegant shape and fragrant blooms, ensures that this tree will be a great addition to any garden.
