Honeylocust – Gleditsia triacanthos inermis Seeds | 10 Count | Fast Growing Thornless Shade Tree | Hardy Urban Tolerant

Grow a tough, fast-growing shade tree with Thornless Honeylocust seeds (Gleditsia triacanthos inermis). Known for its airy, fern-like foliage and graceful rounded canopy, this adaptable deciduous tree is perfect for streetscapes, yards, and challenging urban environments.

Honeylocust grows quickly—often 2–3 feet per year when young—and develops a light, filtered shade that allows grass and garden plants to thrive underneath. In late spring, fragrant greenish-yellow flowers appear, followed by long decorative seed pods that add seasonal interest. Fall foliage turns a beautiful golden yellow.

Highly tolerant of drought, wind, salt, heat, pollution, and poor soils, this hardy tree is an excellent choice for city planting, parking strips, and exposed landscapes.
