Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia' | Yellow False Acacia Tree
Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia' (False Acacia Frisia) - 9L Pot
This beautiful, bushy, medium sized tree with pinnate leaves which are golden-yellow when young is a favourite of ours. The fresh, lime green leaves burst into life as one of the most invigorating signs of spring and turn a greenish-yellow later, with the change to orange-yellow coming later in the autumn.
This tree provides stunning interest all year long with racemes of fragrant, showy white flowers which cascade from the branches attracting many pollinating insects and people alike. This is a perfect feature tree for your garden and will grow in most positions and tolerates most soils well with little care and attention needed.

We have developed an eco friendly polypot that is currently in use across our 9 litre range. This polypot has less than 20% of the plastic used by a regular pot, and is importantly recyclable. Polypots also prevent root spiraling, encouraging a healthier root system.
All trees arrive in an extra thick cardboard box with a clamp to hold their pot in place. This prevents them from moving around on their journey.
Nursery staff will wrap the roots of our bare root trees and use compost to keep them moist during transportation. This extra protection prevents them from drying out, allowing for a flying start. We also use the same specialised box that our potted trees have to keep them nice and secure as they make their way to your home.
Please note: where your plant is supplied with a pot, your plant's 'Height on Arrival' includes the pot
Advice on hot and droopy plants
If your plants are looking a little wilted right now, don’t worry! Plants like to be filled with water to keep their structure, and when it’s hot that water evaporates.
Just give them an off-schedule watering and they’ll be right as rain in no time! Be careful not to flood them - plants don’t like extremes.
- Light Requirements: Full sun
- Soil Requirements: Neutral, clay, loam, sand
- Moisture: Moist, well-drained, moderately fertile
- Planting Distance: 8m
Before planting your tree, clean up all wandering weeds and keep a clean ring around the tree base. Water well during the first year until well established.
Autumn is the best season for planting trees, as the soil moisture and heat allow easier and faster root establishment and regeneration of damaged root systems.
