	Trees of Wisconsin: Robinia pseudoacacia, black locust (167 words) The buds of Robinia pseudoacacia are hidden beneath the bark of the twigs, but buds of Zanthoxylum are clearly visible.

Burke's Backyard > Fact Sheets > Robinia Problems (477 words) However, before you plant a golden robinia it is important to be aware that this tree is very prone to suckering. Robinias are grafted on to R. pseudoacacia rootstock (also known as false acacia or fl locust), a vigorous green-leaved tree with thorns. If your golden robinia is suckering you will know immediately, because the suckers will be green and thorny instead of yellow.
