  • Notes

In comparison to the 'Moraine', this tree is a thornless and seedless locust, which grows faster and in a more upright fashion.
Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
