About this plant

Sunburst honey locust produces bright golden-yellow young leaves and a light, open canopy that casts dappled shade.

As the plant matures it forms an open, broadly spreading crown, creating a strong shape through the growing season.

Best used for

Use as a garden specimen or courtyard shade tree where summer light is still valued.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 30–60 cm per year Medium growth
Expected mature size 8–12 m high / 6–10 m wide

Expect around 30–60 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 8–12 m in height and 6–10 m in width. Allow room for an open, broadly spreading crown; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply through the first growing seasons and during prolonged dry spells later on. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Remove damaged or crossing branches as needed, avoiding heavy routine pruning.

What you will receive

You will receive a healthy container plant in the selected size. The plant is prepared for delivery and supplied ready for planting.

Natural variation in shape, branching, leaf density and seasonal appearance is normal. Plants may look different depending on the time of year.
