  • Description

  • Notes

In comparison to the 'Moraine', this is a thornless and seedless locust, which grows faster and in a more upright fashion.
Planting instructions: Dig hole, insert plant slightly higher than soil grade. Disturb root ball very little. No amendments, just native soil. No fertilizers. Backfill the hole. Mulch top of soil around plant in a 2-3' diameter circle. Water lavishly.
