Gleditsia triacanthos inermis
The Thornless Honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis) is a deciduous tree prized for its adaptability, ornamental value, and lack of thorns, distinguishing it from its thorned relatives. Native to North America, it grows 30–70 feet tall with an open, spreading canopy and feathery, pinnate or bipinnate leaves that provide light, dappled shade. The leaves turn a vibrant golden-yellow in fall, adding seasonal interest. This tree is drought-tolerant, grows well in a variety of soils, and is commonly used in urban landscaping due to its tolerance of pollution and harsh conditions. It produces small, fragrant greenish-yellow flowers in spring, followed by flat seed pods in late summer or fall.
