Strong branches and a sturdy trunk make this an attractive focal point all year long throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 9!

Durable shade trees like this state-of-the-art cultivar make all the difference in outdoor living. Hang out in its shade, while enjoying a lush lawn underneath it.
Give yourself something incredible to look at from your deck with one planted on the southwestern corner of your home. Reduce your cooling bills, too! Shade trees increase the property value of your home, and make outdoor living much more enjoyable.
Keep it in a mulched bed and underplant with Hydrangea and other flowering plants for a lovely landscaped planting. But these are also tough enough as street trees where road salt, car exhaust, compacted soil, and urban conditions are prevalent.
Honeylocusts are admired for their serious durability and fast growth. They can handle heat, cold, drought, heavy rain urban conditions and compacted soils. Plant this deciduous tree in full sun and give them moderate water and well-drained soils while they are establishing. Then once settled, their roots can be quite xeric/drought-tolerant.
Top the soil with a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch - especially when planted in the lawn. Create a buffer zone extending 3-4 feet from the trunk to protect the bark from mower and weed-wacker damage. Shape young trees in late winter with strategic pruning cuts to open the canopy and balance the branch structure.
