Robinia can grow up to 30 meters high
The robinia - a tree wants to go up high
It is hard to believe that an initially small cuttings will develop a meter-high deciduous tree within a very short time. The Robinie shoots upright. Especially in the first years, the bogus acacia, as it is also called, has a considerable growth. Here you will find detailed information on the annual growth of the robinia.
The annual growth
Especially at a young age, the robinia is very strong, as the following table illustrates.
Influence of site conditions
Considering that a robinia can live up to 300 years old, it explains why its crown stands out of the reach of the sky. Unfortunately, the growth of the deciduous tree is not unlimited. Various factors and environmental influences inhibit the growth. The maximum height of growth is 20-30 meters, but only occurs under optimal conditions. To create this height, the robinia should be in groups. As a free-standing tree it reaches a maximum height of only 12-20 meters. In addition, a location in the urban area or on busy roads leads to premature aging of the wood. Here, the deciduous tree lacks oxygen to develop well.
