Gleditsia triacanthos Spectrum

Spectrum Thornless Honeylocust

A tree appreciated for its unique variegated foliage. Its young leaves are green with yellow and white hues, creating a luminous effect throughout the season. As the tree ages, the foliage turns green with hints of yellow in spring and summer, then takes on beautiful golden hues in autumn. With its rounded shape and thin branches, it is ideal for bringing lightness and elegance to gardens or urban spaces. In addition, it is resistant to diseases and varied soil conditions. It prefers well-drained soils and tolerates some drought once well established. Water moderately, especially during the first few years. Prune dead or damaged branches in early spring to maintain its neat shape and encourage new growth.
