Twisty Baby is a compact robinia with strongly contorted branches and curled foliage, creating an architectural silhouette that remains attractive even in winter. Slow growing and usually around three metres tall, it suits smaller gardens and large containers far better than common black locust. Any vigorous straight shoots arising from the rootstock should be removed before they overtake the ornamental crown.

Twisty Baby Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia ‘Twisty Baby’) is a compact ornamental form of black locust, appreciated for its unusual twisted branches and curled foliage.
This small tree or large shrub has a naturally contorted habit, giving it strong architectural interest even in winter when the bare branches are visible. In spring and summer, the fresh green leaves add a light, elegant texture to the plant.
Twisty Baby is much smaller than the common black locust, generally reaching around 2 to 4 metres depending on pruning and growing conditions. It is well suited to small gardens, ornamental borders and specimen planting.
Like other Robinia varieties, it prefers a sunny position and well-drained soil. Once established, it is tolerant of dry conditions and relatively easy to grow.
