Robinia pseudacacia frisia - green not yellow
I have one of these trees which is about 5ft high and the leaves each year are green and not yellow. Have I been sold a dummy or do I have to wait a few more years?
I have had one previously at a different house which was yellow from the start. Does anyone have any ideas? |

It's the normal R.pseudoacacia which will grow bigger than "Frisia" and flower beautifully each late spring, or if you are really luck it's "Tortuosa" which will also flower annually, does it look a bit twisted and contorted? Personally both are better looking than that anaemic yellow looking thing you thought you bought. :-) May be the graft didn't take and the ordinary stock has grown instead. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |

Thank you Bob for the information. It isn't contorted in any way but it does have large spikes along each branch. I shall also have a look to see if it is grafted, but I don't think it is. Kind regards David Rodgers |

On the other hand I happen to think the yellow one is one of the finest garden trees going! |
