PLANT PROFILE

Gleditsia triacanthos 'Sunburst', known as Sunburst Honeylocust, is a stunning deciduous tree celebrated for its vibrant golden lime-yellow new foliage that matures to soft green in summer and turns rich golden-yellow in autumn. Reaching 12–18 meters tall with a broad, open pyramidal to oval canopy up to 15 meters wide, it offers a delicate, filtered light effect ideal for shade and high-impact planting in parks, streetscapes, and gardens.

This versatile tree features fine-textured, fern-like leaves, inconspicuous spring flowers, and occasional seed pods. Thriving in full sun to part shade and adapting well to various well-drained soils, Sunburst Honeylocust is moderately drought-tolerant once established. Its low-maintenance nature and tolerance to urban pollution, compacted soils, and wind make it an excellent choice for designers seeking beauty, structure, and resilience in landscape projects.

How to Plant Sunburst Honeylocust:

  1. Select an Ideal Location: Choose a location with well-draining soil and ample sunlight.
  2. Prepare the Planting Hole: Dig a hole that is as deep and twice as wide as the root ball.
  3. Plant the Tree: Position the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
  4. Backfill: Fill the hole with soil and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.
  5. Mulch: Apply mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture and prevent weed growth.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
