Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis Sunburst 330 mm (2136-3414)

The Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis Sunburst, also known as the Sunburst Honey Locust, is a striking deciduous shade tree prized for its vibrant golden-yellow new growth, which gradually matures to a fresh lime-green throughout the season. Its delicate, fern-like foliage creates a light, airy canopy that provides filtered shade without heavily darkening the garden below.

Fast growing and highly adaptable, 'Sunburst' performs well in a wide range of conditions, tolerating heat, drought, frost, and urban environments once established. Unlike the species form, this cultivar is thornless, making it a practical choice for residential gardens, streetscapes, parks, and feature plantings.

With its brilliant spring colour, graceful form, and low-maintenance nature, Sunburst Honey Locust is ideal for adding seasonal interest, soft shade, and year-round architectural appeal to larger gardens and landscapes.
