About the Shademaster
Honey Locust :
The Shademaster Honey Locust tree, Gleditsia
triacanthos inermis, 'Shademaster'Honeylocust, may
also be called sweet-locust or thorny-locust. This
deciduous tree is a moderately fast growing tree
commonly found on moist bottom lands or limestone
soils. Because it has proven very hardy and tolerant
of drought and salinity, it is widely planted for
windbreaks and soil erosion control.
It is a fast growing tree with good trunk. It has
a more or less rectangular outline formed by the
upright ascending branches which then spread
horizontally. Excellent street and lawn tree bcause
it is thornless and seedless. The dark green foliage
turns yellow for great fall color. This variety has
been planted to replace the elm in many urban areas.
The leaves are fine textured, medium green in color
and seldom need raking because of their fine texture |
