Robinia pseudoacacia was brought over from the Appalachian Mountains by a British naturalist, John Tradescant. Tradescant traded seeds with Jean Robin, Henri IV’s botanist, who introduced the Robinia pseudoacacia to his garden in Paris in the 16^th century.

Legend has it that this rapidly growing tree, whose wood possesses rot-proof properties, was cultivated by American settlers, and spread abundantly across the entire territory.

Its beautiful clusters of white flowers, that smell like orange blossom, are a firm favourite of bees, resulting in high quality honey, and of people, who use the flowers to make fritters.
