Looking for a tree that's easy to transplant, salt tolerant, and offers a graceful habit with fine textured leaves? Look no further than the Thornless Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthos 'Inermis'). This popular street tree is known for its adaptability to various soils and excellent salt tolerance, making it a good city tree that can withstand harsh conditions. The delicate bright green compound leaves cast a light shade, and in the fall, they turn a spectacular golden yellow. This thornless version of the species is a parent of many good street trees and grows quickly, reaching a height of 20-30 meters. The tree produces large pods, and although it's not a significant honey plant, the seeds have been roasted and used as a coffee substitute. The pods have even been used to ensure children's complaints. Current research is examining the leaves as a potential source of anticancer compounds. Our "Thornless" seed comes very true, making it an excellent choice for those looking to plant a tree with minimal hassle.
