Learn About Your New Gleditsia triacanthos 'Sunburst'
Gleditsia triacanthos 'Sunburst' is a highly ornamental deciduous tree admired for its striking foliage, elegant canopy, and exceptional versatility in urban and landscape environments. Known as Sunburst Honeylocust, this medium to large tree reaches 12–18 metres high with a broad canopy up to 15 metres wide, making it ideal for open spaces, shade, and high-visual-impact planting.
The standout feature of Gleditsia triacanthos 'Sunburst' is its golden lime-yellow new growth, which matures to a soft green over summer and shifts to rich golden-yellow in autumn. The fine-textured, fern-like foliage gives it a delicate, filtered light effect that softens surrounding spaces.
Its canopy is pyramidal to oval-shaped, open, and airy—making it suitable for street planting, parklands, and garden designs where light penetration and form are key. Spring brings small, inconspicuous flowers, sometimes followed by long seed pods.
Gleditsia triacanthos 'Sunburst' is a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established tree that thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates a wide range of soils and urban conditions. It is a reliable choice for designers seeking impact without the upkeep.
