Bare root, 1 year old rooted stem cuttings.

River locust, aka false indigo, is one of the best nitrogen fixing leguminous shrubs native to much of the US. It responds very well to coppicing/pollarding and is easy to propagate. I generally plant them as an understory shrub at the drip-line of older, well-established fruit/nut canopy trees. These are then coppiced annually if desired.

Large lateral roots and tolerance of moist soils also make this a great candidate to assist in stream bank restoration and mitigate soil erosion.

Plant details:
Genus & species: Amorpha fruticosa
Hardiness: Zone 4 to zone 9
Sun: Full sun to part shade
Soil type: Tolerant of a variety of soil types
Soil moisture: Average to moist
