How to care for Robinia pseudoacacia Frisia:
Plant Robinia in a sunny spot with free-draining soil, setting it at the same depth it grew in the pot and watering well in the first couple of seasons to help it root in. Keep the area around the base clear of weeds, mulch lightly each spring to hold moisture, and avoid digging near the root zone as this encourages suckers. Stake firmly.
Shelter the tree from strong winds, prune only lightly in mid to late summer, and remove any suckers as soon as they appear.

Please note:
This tree is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
