Hello,
I was interested in your Robinia Tortuosa Bob. You mentioned that it would
be covered in flower again this year. I have one in my front garden.
Lovely thing but was told when I bought it that it would not flower. True
too. It gets some buds which then fall off. As it is now about 10 years
old is it one of those things which you have to wait decades for flower or
are you just the lucky one?

Incidentally I prune mine slightly each year removing those branches which
are in danger of poking an eye out. This has only made it grow better!

Best wishes,

I've cut some big branches off mine (it's R.p. "Tortuosa") and it makes no
difference to the tree, indeed it seems to lose branched naturally. It's
covered in blossom again this year and will look stunning in a week or so
if
this weather doesn't knock it all off.
