Robinias are very adaptable, tolerant to air pollution and are excellent for urban planting. Suitable for hot dry climates and tolerant to coastal conditions.Robinias can and do sucker in particular if root damage occurs. However they can be controlled.

 All plant dimensions are estimates only and ultimate size and growth rates will depend on growing conditions, particularly when used in some urban environments. All estimates are based around a 20-year time frame. With maturity most species will grow larger.
