Robinia pseudoacacia - Black locust
This page is a stub. Learn how you can help expanding it.
Robinia pseudoacacia commonly known in its native territory as black locust is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to the southeastern United States, but it has been widely planted and naturalized elsewhere in temperate North America, Europe, Southern Africa and Asia and is considered an invasive species in some areas. Another common name is false acacia, a literal translation of the specific name (pseudo meaning fake or false and acacia referring to the genus of plants with the same name.) It was introduced into Britain in 1636.
