Robinia Casque Rouge Aka Robinia Pink Cascade.
3/4 Standard
Robinia Casque Rouge 3/4 Standard 90/100cm Stem 20 Litre: Robinia Carre Rouge, also known as Robinia Pink Cascade, is a stunning variety of the Robinia pseudoacacia species. It is a deciduous tree that is native to North America but is widely cultivated for its ornamental value worldwide.
One of the most striking features of Robinia Carre Rouge is its vibrant red foliage. In spring, as the tree begins to leaf out, the new leaves emerge in a brilliant shade of red. This intense red colour gradually fades to a deep green as the season progresses. The leaves are pinnately compound, meaning they are composed of multiple leaflets that are arranged along a central stem. The leaflets themselves are oval-shaped with a pointed tip, and they create a delicate and feathery appearance.
In addition to its attractive foliage, Robinia Carre Rouge produces clusters of fragrant pink flowers in late spring or early summer. These flowers are pea-like in shape and hang gracefully from the branches. The flowers are a favourite among bees and other pollinators, making this tree a valuable addition to any garden that aims to support biodiversity.
As the summer progresses, Robinia Carre Rouge develops long, slender seed pods that contain small seeds. These pods add an interesting visual element to the tree, as they hang from the branches.
