About
About this tree

A beautiful small tree originally raised on Hillier's Nursery in the 1930's, Robinia x slavinii 'Hillieri' has pretty, slightly fragrant, pale-pink flowers borne in abundance in early summer. These flowers look a little like those of a Wisteria and hang from the branches, contrasting beautifully with the delicate, pale green, pinnate (feather-like) leaves. Recorded in 2018 as a UK Champion Tree
