Robinia Umbraculifera leaves are green with many pairs of rounded leaflets which turn yellow in autumn. Tolerant of pollution so makes a good urban courtyard specimen

Robinia 'Umbraculifera' is a distinctive, deciduous tree known for its compact, globe-shaped canopy and finely textured, bright green foliage. It typically grows as a small to medium-sized tree, making it ideal for adding structure and shade to gardens and urban landscapes. This variety is valued for its unique form and low maintenance, providing year-round interest even without flowers.

The Robinia Umbraculifera, also known as the Mophead Robinia, is a distinctive deciduous tree valued for its unique, rounded canopy and elegant form. This compact tree features a dense, dome-shaped crown of delicate, pinnate leaves that turn golden-yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest to any garden or landscape. Its neat, symmetrical shape makes it an excellent choice for small gardens, patios, or as a focal point in larger landscapes, offering both structure and ornamental appeal.

Where to Position Your Robinia Umbraculifera

Robinia Umbraculifera thrives in full sun to partial shade, where it will develop its characteristic rounded canopy. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil to support healthy growth and can tolerate a range of soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. This tree is relatively drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance option for enhancing garden aesthetics. Regular watering during the first few years will help establish a strong root system, after which the tree will require minimal care.

Growth and Maintenance

Robinia Umbraculifera is valued for its moderate growth rate and naturally tidy, compact habit, typically reaching a height and spread of around 4-5 metres. Pruning is rarely needed due to its self-maintaining shape, but any dead or damaged branches can be removed in late winter to early spring to keep the tree looking its best. The tree's robust nature makes it a reliable choice for urban gardens or exposed sites, where it can withstand challenging conditions.
