All reviews for category Gleditsia - Honey Locust

We planted a magnificent coppice shoots 4 years ago (with a clod of soil weighing nearly 80 kg), it thrived and even produced shoots of almost 2 meters (7 feet) every summer. Currently, it must have a diameter of 5 meters (16 feet) and its highest branches as well. Unfortunately, we will uproot it this autumn, I am forced to treat it against the gleidisia fly (for information, the red parts in the photo above are leaves that have a fly larva). If the first treatment doesn't work like it did for me this year, there are only branches without leaves (now I am on my 6th or 7th treatment this year with SUCCES 4 treatment for professionals only). Furthermore, what to do when the tree reaches 10 meters (33 feet) and beyond... To give you an idea, I placed my swimming pool quite close to the tree and I remove hundreds of flies from the skimmer every 2 days... There's no denying it's a beautiful tree, but the flies are a nightmare!!

Successful reception of the American vine-plant.

Package received very damaged, all the tree's protection was torn, in shreds, and terminal branches are broken, it's a shame. It's the first time I have this kind of inconvenience. It's also the first time I order a large tree. I hope the recovery will go well.

He has recovered well. It is not a familiar tree in our region. It stands out due to its golden green colour and its toothed foliage.

Beautiful tree received in good condition, but I am eagerly awaiting spring to truly see if it lives up to my expectations.

Hello, Plants arrived in very good condition. However, I find the Gleditsia quite green for a sunburst. I have photos available if you're interested.... Best regards

Hello, I was considering planting this young tree to have some shade at home (isolated planting 5m (16ft) away from the house). But in a 15 L pot, I suppose the tree is around 120/150 cm (47/59in), so I guess I'll have to wait several years before having some shade.... What about it? What alternative would you suggest to quickly recreate shade please? Thank you!

It was slow, but it has recovered well and we protected it from the cold.

Very disappointed by the condition of the young plants upon unpacking. Such a shame.
