Gleditsia triacanthos ‘Sunburst’ is a graceful, deciduous ornamental tree prized for its vibrant golden foliage and light, airy form. It typically grows to around 8–12 metres tall with a broad, open canopy that allows dappled sunlight to filter through. The finely divided, fern-like leaves emerge bright yellow in spring, gradually softening to a fresh greenish-yellow as the season progresses, before turning golden again in autumn.
