Gleditsia triacanthos 'Skyline' – Gleditsia triacanthos 'Skyline'

View prices and availability
Important difference with the species is that the crown has an upright top. The side branches have a crotch angle of 60º to 90º in relation to the main branch, which gives it a slightly pyramidal habit. This is, in contrast with the Gleditsia varieties, compact and rather dense. The tree does not get wider than circa 8 m. Due to this property 'Skyline' is much applied as a street and avenue tree. The bark is grey and has fine grooves. The branches are spineless and turn from red brown to olive brown. The large, compound leaf sprouts late and turns golden yellow in autumn. The separate leaflets are circa 2 cm big. After the inflorescence pods rarely appear. Has a deep rooting system with many branches and can withstand hard surfaces well. 'Skyline' is one of the most hardy cultivars.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
