I've seen houseplants with 'curly' leaves but not big garden plants like that.

Lots of named colour variations from deep red to white.

From the photo, because I have not seen this variety of Robinia pseudoacacia, I am not sure if I like it. I thought it was a new disease with healthy leaves. It did not make sense.

HoooooKAY.
Can anyone help me by identifying THIS little chappie ?
It grew by accident in my Polytunnel, prior to being transplanted to my Sisters garden.

It's faded a bit now, but in its prime it was a dark russety red, and looked rather nice !

Hmm... a bird flying THROUGH the polytunnel ?

Hmm.. perhaps an Unladen Swallow ?
