Robinia Margaretta Georgina Da Torino®, more commonly known as the Pink-flowered locust tree, is an ornamental tree that captivates with its spectacular flowering. This variety has recently appeared in Italy. Its clusters of purplish-pink flowers, which can reach at least 15 cm in length, bloom in May - June and offer a striking visual spectacle, as well as a delicate fragrance that attracts insects such as bees and butterflies who come to feast on its nectar.
The Pink-flowered locust tree is distinguished by its deciduous foliage, composed of fresh and bright green pinnate leaves that turn a bright yellow in the autumn, before falling. Flowering is followed by the formation of pods that hang elegantly from the tree, adding additional visual interest at the end of the season.
In terms of growth, the Pink-flowered Locust tree generally reaches a height of 8 meters and up to 10 m after 10 years, and a spread that can go up to 8 meters. This tree is appreciated for its hardiness, able to withstand temperatures down to -29 ° C. Pink-flowered locust tree is very resistant to drought and high heat, which makes it suitable for many climates. It is not afraid of harmful insects. Its branches bend in the wind and do not break.
The ideal exposure for Robinia Margaretta Georgina Da Torino® is full sun or partial shade for optimal flowering. For planting, it is advisable to choose a well-drained location, as the locust tree does not appreciate waterlogged soils. A fertile and slightly acidic to neutral soil will promote healthy growth. Planting can be done in autumn or spring, making sure to water the tree generously during the first few years to ensure good establishment. The Pink-flowered Locust tree requires little maintenance once established.
In the garden, this very floriferous and thornless tree is perfect for creating a focal point thanks to its distinctive flowers that are noticeable from afar. Pink-flowered locust tree can be planted as a stand-alone, in a clump or integrated into a free hedge. Its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil also makes it an excellent companion for other plants, helping to enrich the soil and promote biodiversity.
In summary, Robinia Margaretta Georgina Da Torino® is a wise choice for any gardener wishing to add a touch of colour and life to their green space. With its pink flowers that attract pollinators, its changing foliage and its ease of cultivation, it promises to beautify your garden with elegance and charm.
