Gleditsia triacanthos 'Elegantissima'

One of the most underutilised trees available to the ornamental tree market in Australia today. A very interesting small, compact form of Gleditsia that will provide year-round interest. Excellent for use as a specimen or screening tree in gardens, courtyards, carparks and streets.
