Imperial Honeylocust

No matter how tough your climate...chances are great you can achieve the kind of shaded backyard paradise you've always dreamed of. Imperial Honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis 'Imperial') takes hard conditions and grows into a healthy, rounded lawn tree your whole family will enjoy.

No need to stress about surface roots or prickly thorns with this modern cultivar. Instead, you'll gain tiny, fragrant spring flowers, and fern-like leaves that cast pretty shade but still allow the lawn to thrive underneath.

This rugged selection resists wind and winter damage and can tolerate brief periods of drought after the first few seasons. It can be planted in new construction sites with compacted soil.

Use one at the southwestern part of your property to reduce your cooling costs. In a larger space, create a personal park with several scattered informally to take advantage of natural hills and dips in your property.

They partner well with other trees, too. Add a mix of smaller flowering trees and evergreens with your Imperial Honeylocust for an exceptional display that requires very little care.

Imperial Honeylocust even provides a brilliant golden-yellow fall color to brighten up the tail end of the growing season. And it's a breeze to clean up after these small compound leaflets, too!

This native tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Prune to shape your young tree in late winter.

Place your order for these incredible shade trees. Imperial Honeylocust adds value to your property!
