Robinia ‘Mop Top’

Robinia pseudoacacia ‘Umbraculifera’

  • A great, grafted variety of Robinia. A symmetrical and round-headed small tree that is grafted onto a 1.2 or 1.8m standard.
  • The trunk will never grow taller than 1.2 or 1.8m (only thicker); just the standard above will grow bigger and create an almost ball shape. 
  • Can be pruned severely if desired in late summer or winter to restrict size.

Height

3-5 m

Width

2-3 m


Foliage

Soft textured, mid-green, pinnate leaves have a lighter-coloured new-growth and turn yellow in the autumn.

Usage

  • Great as a feature or focal point in the garden or planted in pairs or rows. 
  • Use in small gardens and public areas as a focal point and for general landscape use. 
  • A great plant for difficult areas as very hardy. 
  • Take care not to disturb roots too much, as can sucker.

Comments

  • Prefers full sun to part shade in well-drained soil.
  • However, adaptable to a range of conditions, including moderate drought, heat, air pollution, poor and slightly saline conditions, coastal areas and compacted sites.
