Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This remarkable variety arose in a French nursery in about 1855, grown more for its unique foliage, which is simple rather than compound and very un-locust-like! The blooms on this 45-60' tree, however, are delightful, pendulous clusters of fragrant white flowers and they are borne quite prolifically. Good for areas with poor air quality as they are very pollution tolerant; also a wonderful tree for beekeepers! S/M
