Twisty Baby Black Locust Tree

This spring-blooming Twisty Baby™ dwarf Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia 'Lace Lady') is an entertaining tree to have in your landscape! This is because its branches don't grow normally. They twist! Not only do the branches have a contorted look, but there is some curling of the mature leaflets which gives it its unique look! Immediately noticeable, even from a distance!

Its twisting, zig-zag branches are decorated with gorgeous, fragrant white flowers that bloom in the spring. Twisty Baby™ features fine-textured foliage that emerges soon after the blooming blossoms! Pollinators flock to these dripping Wisteria-like blossoms!

This tree's foliage is interesting though. Newly emerging foliage is apple green and when it matures it turns bluish-green. When the winter season comes around the Twisty Baby™ Black Locust tree's branches will have your neighbors in a trance! Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 8, Locust Trees are incredibly adaptable and resilient.

Planting and Application:

This Twisty Baby™ makes for a beautiful specimen tree or a fun focal point in any garden! This twisting tree also looks great planted near a porch, patio, or deck not only to enjoy the beautiful, fragrant white blossoms but to watch the hummingbirds gather around it!
