I recall reading that seeds were imported in large quantities from the US as
the next great thing for forestry in the UK - back in the late 1600's - they
were snapped up by eager estate-owners, and none survive today - even as
suckers which is rather odd considering their habit. TROBI has the biggest as
60cm?; but their website is not working very well, and when I tried to check
using the advanced search it returned no records..........

According to Scott Leathhart's brilliant book 'Whence our Trees' the first
known Robinia planted by Jean Robin's son, arborist to King Louis XII in the
Jardins des Plantes in 1635 was up until around 1990 still producing live
shoots from its stump.
