Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The picturesquely twisted branches of this eye-catching shrub/tree grow slowly to reach only 8-10' in height but with a graceful wide-spreading habit to 12-15'. This lovely specimen does not produce flowers, perhaps because the lacey leaves have already stolen the show! Perfect great for container or bonsai, makes a stunning silhouette in winter after the yellow autumn leaves fall. S/M-D PP 9771

What a great silhouette this has in winter, it is a single to multi-stemmed small tree. Branches zig and zag angularly for a full spreading crown. Mature size of the plant is 10'. The dark green leaves flutter in the lightest breeze for a fantastic shimmering effect all season long.

The contorted nature of this clone creates an interesting winter silhouette. Pendulous rose pink pea like flowers.

This contorted dwarf black locust is a picturesque addition to a garden; the amazing twisting branches will spread out as far as it will grow tall (15'). It produces no flowers, but the curly leaves make up for it. zone 3

We confess to have read this 'Twisted Baby' when we fell in love with it.... Get past the perennial-drought-curled-leaf look--this small tree is an excellent accent plant. A tough, deciduous tree, to 20' in the ground or 4-5' in container, for sun and water to establish. Creamy white, fragrant flowers in spring and yellow fall foliage. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. PP9771
