Robinia pseudoacacia 'Twisty Baby'
Twisty Baby Black Locust
Twisty Baby Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia ‘Lady Lace’) attracts attention with zigzag branches and curled leaflets. The dark green foliage turns yellow in fall, revealing more of the branch pattern as the leaves drop.
It can be grown as a multi-stemmed shrub or a small tree. Nursery plants trained or grafted on a trunk can have a different outline, so choose the form that suits the intended position.
Provide sun or partial shade. Flower and seed-pod production is usually limited.
