(Locust)
Robinia commonly known as locust is a genus of plant family Fabaceae – the pea and bean family. The plants are native throughout much of North America and Mexico. The number of species which make up the genus is disputed by experts, some claim there are as few as four species, other say there are 20. Linnaeus, the father of scientific classification, named the genus in honor of Jean Robin, botanist to King Henry IV of France. Robin was the first to bring locust trees to Europe.

(Doubtful Locust)
This is a graceful deciduous tree prized its gorgeous, pendulous, clusters of pink flowers and rugged constitution. Its parent is Robinia ambigua, a species designated for new plants resulting from the cross of Robinia pseudoacacia and Robinia viscosa, both native to North America and Mexico. The leaves of ‘Idahoensis’ are arranged alternately on the branches and divided into rounded leaflets that give them a feathery look. With its single, upright trunk and spreading branches,...

(Bristly Locust)
The beautiful dangling pink flower clusters give this rugged, sun loving deciduous shrub a fabulous season of bloom in return for virtually no care. As with most American natives, it is super adapted to its homeland, the heart of the Southeastern states where it is found in drier, forested regions. Unlike its invasive, exotic cousins, this arching large shrub or small tree can be used in warm climates without reservation. Its blue-green compound leaves take on a yellow green coloring in the fall....

(Black Locust)
Though pretty and fast-growing, black locust is weak-wooded, short-lived and generally weedy. It is hardy, deciduous and forms a broad, upright canopy when mature. Some are more shrub-like. Natural populations are believed to have originated from the eastern United States, particularly along the Appalachians and Ozark Mountains, but have spread across much of the United States and up into Canada.
Green to blue-green compound leaves (leaves comprised of many small leaflets) cover its coarse,...

(Hybrid Black Locust, Purple Robe Locust)
A tough tree with billowy foliage and pretty violet-pink late spring flowers, 'Purple Robe' is no less than easy-to-grow. A small to medium-sized deciduous tree, it is a hybrid. Some consider it a cross between cultivars of Robinia ambigua and Robinia hispida while others believe it a cross between Robinia pseudoacacia and Robinia hispida.
It has compound leaves (made up of many smaller oval leaflets) that emerge bronze-red in spring, maturing to blue-green....
