Locust, Purple Robe

Purple Robe Locust trees develop incredible, long clusters of purple colored flowers in mid- to late spring that look very much like Wisteria flowers. These beautifully fragrant clusters cover the tree profusely and may be up to eight inches long each! Also features young, metallic red leaves that mature to be a beautiful blue-green and provide cooling shade all summer. Cold-hardy and drought-tolerant.
