IMPERIAL HONEY LOCUST (Gleditsia triacanthos inermis ‘Imperial’), 30-40 ft. This selection is more spreading than upright and often lacks a single central trunk. Foliage is dark green. An excellent street and lawn tree that does well in extreme heat and cold. Seems to almost thrive where seasons are defined. Not picky about soil. A fast grower, but wood not brittle. The foliage allows some light to penetrate the crown, making it possible to grow a lawn beneath the tree, yet it is dense enough to provide a pleasant shade. Leaflets are tiny and so, when they drop in the fall, little raking is required.

Important Info : Gleditsia triacanthos inermis is thornless.
