Black Locust – Robinia pseudoacacia 100 Seeds | Fast Growing Hardy Shade Tree Fragrant White Blooms | Nitrogen Fixing | Drought & Cold Tolerant

Grow a strong, adaptable shade tree with this pack of 100 Black Locust seeds. Robinia pseudoacacia is prized for its rapid growth, fragrant spring flowers, and ability to thrive in challenging conditions.

In late spring, trees are covered in 4–8 inch long clusters of sweetly fragrant, white, wisteria-like flowers that attract bees and pollinators. The honey produced from these blooms is especially valued for its delicate flavor. After flowering, smooth, flat, purple-brown seed pods develop and mature through the season.

Black Locust forms an open canopy that creates beautiful dappled shade. It tolerates drought, heat, cold, poor soils, and urban environments with ease. As a nitrogen-fixing tree, it also improves soil fertility, making it an excellent choice for reclamation areas, windbreaks, or difficult planting sites.
