The thornless honey-locust is a graceful, fast-growing shade tree known for its airy, lacy foliage that casts a light, dappled shade, perfect for maintaining grass and plants beneath its canopy. It is highly adaptable, thriving in a wide range of soil conditions while tolerating drought and urban pollution. In autumn, its fine- textured leaves turn a brilliant yellow before dropping in small leaflets. The native honey-locust bears large thorns, but the thornless varieties are most commonly cultivated. With a short trunk and an open, spreading crown, this tree brings both beauty and practicality to a landscape.
