Purple Robe Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia 'Purple Robe') is the fast-growing shade tree your yard has been longing for, quickly reaching a majestic 30 to 40 feet tall with a 20-foot spread. It is a stunning solution for hot, sun-drenched Zone 7 and 8 landscapes, offering immediate relief from summer heat. In late spring, you will be treated to a spectacular show of long, dangling clusters of wisteria-like, violet-purple blossoms that fill the breeze with a sweet fragrance. Even better, this tough tree features excellent deer resistance, protecting your investment from local wildlife.
To give it the best start, blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden's native soil; this improves drainage and root aeration, which is vital for establishing deep roots. At planting, mix in Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to feed the beneficial soil microbes and promote sturdy, wind-resistant growth.

Plants aren't a puppy dog, shipped
through the mail, but a close second. A long trip can be stressful. If your plant arrives with broken
stems or wilted foliage, take a photo and send it to success@wattersgardencenter.com within 48
hours. We don't just offer a "resolution"; we offer a Success Guarantee. Whether it's a replacement or
expert advice to nurse it back to health, we've got your back.

🪴Is it safe to ship plants during extreme heat or cold?
We watch the weather maps like hawks. If a heatwave or a freeze is rolling through, we'll hold your
shipment in our climate-controlled nursery until it's safe to travel. We'd rather wait a week to ship a
healthy plant than rush a dead one to your door.
