THE Sunburst Honey Locust
About the
Sunburst Honey Locust :
The Sunburst Honeylocust tree, Gleditsia
triacanthos inermis, 'Sunburst', is smaller
in stature than the common Honeylocust tree.
Sunburst Honeylocust trees display yellow
new growth, and the yellow leaves persists
throughout the season. The wood is dense,
hard, and durable. The Sunburst Honeylocust
is fast growing up to 2 ‘ a year. It is a
very fine textured tree with a broad,
pyramidal crown, and an excellent lawn tree
for filtered shade.
This deciduous tree displays clusters of
yellow-green, fragrant flowers open in
May-June. The leaves are divided into many
small, oval leaflets giving a fern-like
appearance to the foliage; leaves are
normally green, but the 'Sunburst' cultivar
has light yellow leaves. This tree is a
version of improved thornless, podless
varieties. Easy to transplant because it
withstands a wide range of conditions. Does
best in moist bottomlands or soils with high
pH. Prefers full sun. Extremely salt
tolerant |
