Size: 3-gallon
Black locust grows in a variety of soil types and can fix nitrogen in the soil, so it is sometimes used to reclaim soil banks in abandoned sites. This is a good plant for difficult sites, transplants well, and tends to reseed. It develops shoots from roots. It is moderately salt tolerant. Species trees are sometimes considered to be somewhat weedy. Trees send out long underground root suckers that not only become a maintenance problem but also can disrupt nearby gardening areas. The trees can be pruned and kept at shrub size by cutting them to the ground every 2-3 years, but pruning should be avoided in the spring as the tree will bleed.
Purchased and reserved trees can be picked up at the Sand Hill Nursery at the pickup dates and times noted in your confirmation email.
Size = size of the pot they are currently in. The actual height of trees varies from 1' to 6'.
