How quickly should I plant it?

For best results, unpack your plant promptly, water it well, and plant it as soon as practical.

Give your plant the best start after delivery.

  • Unpack your plant promptly and check the soil moisture on arrival.
  • Water deeply after planting to settle soil around the root zone.
  • Keep soil evenly moist while the plant establishes, without leaving it waterlogged.
  • Choose a planting position suited to the plant's light requirements.
  • Add mulch around the base to help retain moisture and reduce weeds.
  • Avoid piling mulch against the trunk or stem.
  • For hedging or screening plants, trim lightly once established to encourage denser growth.

Care requirements vary by variety, climate, season, and planting location. Always match watering, sunlight, and soil conditions to the specific plant you are buying.

Black Locust - Robinia pseudoacacia Lace Lady

Unlike the mophead robinias, Lace Lady is grown for its stems rather than its canopy. Every branch twists and corkscrews as it extends, and the small pinnate leaves are curled and crumpled along them, so the plant reads as texture rather than shade. Once the leaves drop, the contorted winter framework becomes the feature, which is the main reason it ends up near an entry, in a large courtyard pot, or somewhere it can be uplit at night.

It is usually offered grafted, giving a twisted head on a straight stem, and it stays small for a robinia. Watch for rootstock suckering below the graft and remove it early while it is soft. Full sun matters more than with most trees here, because shade makes the growth longer and straighter and loses the whole effect.

Being deciduous, it will be a bundle of sticks for a few months, so do not use it where year-round screening is wanted. Bare root and potted stock are both listed.

Choosing a size

This plant is available in 4 sizes, from 330mm up to Bare Root Advanced, priced from $56.95 to $239.00 per plant. The size shown is the pot the plant arrives in, which is the rootball, not the height of the plant. Every size here is established stock rather than a starter plant, so this line is intended for immediate effect rather than for growing on. Not sure which to choose?
