Robinia, also known as Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), is a hardwood species native to Central and Eastern Europe. It is well-regarded for its strength, density, and natural resistance to decay. Please visit our ABOUT ROBINIA PAGE for more information.

Robinia is classified under DIN EN 350-2 as Class 1–2, meaning it is highly resistant to rot and decay — even without chemical treatments. This makes it ideal for outdoor use and ground contact. Dylan Group offers a 20 year guarantee on all its Robinia Timber Products against rot or decay

Yes, Robinia is considered an eco-friendly choice for several reasons. As a fast-growing tree, it is often used in reforestation projects and helps combat deforestation. Being a member of the legume family, Robinia naturally fixes nitrogen in the soil, enhancing soil fertility. Additionally, it provides food and shelter for a wide range of wildlife species.


Robinia timber used by Dylan Group is sourced exclusively from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC), ensuring responsible forest management.
