Gleditsia triacanthos var. Inermis

 

Thornless honey locusts are deciduous trees known for their beautiful foliage, shade-providing capabilities, and lack of thorns. They are a popular choice for landscaping due to their low maintenance requirements.

 

Key Characteristics:

 

Thornless: Unlike their thorny counterparts, thornless honey locust trees have minimal or no thorns, making them easier to work with.

 

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.

 

To germinate, soak the seeds in hot water for 24 hours, then plant them in rich, well-draining soil. No cold stratification required.
