  • Description

  • Notes

Sunburst honeylocust is slightly smaller than the species, growing about 30 to 35 feet tall and 20 to 30 feet wide. It has the same upright, spreading habit that makes it a fine choice as a shade tree. Leaves are small and pinnately compounded, but the new growth is always bright yellow which contrasts attractively with the darker yellow green interior foliage. Deciduous.
