Hi, having seen the photo, I would agree with Steragram, and say Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frizia', Derek.

The Robinias are so beautiful esp at this time of year.

Erm, I don't think it is Robinia; pic doesn't magnify well, its too fuzzy, but I think its Gleditsia triacanthos 'sunburst' because the leaves look too fern like to be Robinia - image of autumning leaves on Gleditsia below

I looked it up from your link, Bamboo, and the tree here does look like that so I think you're right. Thanks a lot. It's a beautiful tree and a real eye catcher.

Yes, Gleditsia triacanthos 'sunburst', as I suggested from the description in your other post. I'm surprised you didn't google it then...?

I still think that it's a Robinia, myself, though I could be wrong. Robinia leaves are pinnately compound, and the leaflets are fairly large: 5-7 cm long. Gleditsia leaves are bi-pinnately compound, with much smaller leaflets. What I'm seeing in the picture are pinnately compound leaves.

Your sight or your computer must be better than mine, Tug, I can't detect that at all, when I magnify the pic, its too blurry... and I don't usually ever disagree with Derek or you come to that, but its over to Arbuthnot now to make the comparison

I suspect you're referring to me, Rosierose in your post.My memory is virtually non existent so remembering who has said what, even seconds afterwards, is not easy.

I had no wish to upset anybody but I would have preferred it if you had sent me a PM saying what you did rather than posting it publicly.

So, belatedly, thank you for your suggestion which is probably correct. As for my other post I don't know which one you're referring to.

Sorry.

I agree it is not a Robinia, having had one i the garden, and not to be recommended they are susceptible to a disease unfortunately, and die early......

My Robinia pseudo acacia has very curled up leaves - not feathery like this one. But this one is lovely!

If yours has curly leaves, Sheilabub, its probably Robinia 'Lace Lady'

Thanks Bamboo - you are absolutely right :)
