Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia' is a striking ornamental tree highly valued for its brilliant yellow-green foliage that stands out in any landscape. Its pinnate leaves retain their vibrant color throughout the growing season, creating a luminous effect. This cultivar is especially eye-catching in sunlight and pairs beautifully with darker foliage plants. Although 'Frisia' produces clusters of fragrant white flowers in late spring, its primary appeal lies in its unique golden foliage. Suitable for sunny locations, this fast-growing tree adds charm to gardens and larger landscapes while being tolerant of urban pollution and poor soils.
