Shade Tree: Honey Locust trees are known for their dense, spreading canopies, providing ample shade during hot summer months.
Attractive Foliage: Leaves are compound and feathery, turning a vibrant yellow in autumn
Fast Growth: Thornless Honey Locust trees are fast-growing, reaching maturity relatively quickly. They can reach 40-70 feet tall at maturity.
Drought Tolerance: They are relatively drought-tolerant once established, making them suitable for drier climates.
