These are gorgeous. Here they are all grafted either on either
rootstock or whip of what we call common acacia, Robinia pseudo-
acacia I suppose. We had one on haute-tige that got quite big,

and then positively exploded with growth, an has now reformed a
large crown. I'd love to try again, but perhaps I should be looking
for a non-grafted specimen?
