This thornless Gleditsia triacanthos 'Sunburst' grows less strongly than the species. Moderately tall tree, height 5-10 m and a wide pyramidal, in its youth strongly spreading, crown. Beautiful open habit (transparent). New foliage and the second flush is golden yellow, later on yellowish green. No characteristic pods. The autumn colouration is golden yellow.
Gleditsia triacanthos 'Sunburst' is a magnificant park tree, partly an avenue tree on green verges and in wind-sheltered locations.
