(Gleditsia triacanthos 'Suncole')
The Honeylocust's delicate, fern-like appearance makes this a unique and popular shade tree. As this medium-sized tree grows, it forms a graceful, lime green spreading canopy that gives excellent filtered shade to your yard. No need to worry about those annoying seed pods as this tree is a fruitless variety. The leaves emerge a bright yellow then mature to a bright green giving your sunny yard a burst of color during the summer and fall.
Plant on the east or west side of your home for maximum energy benefit.
