Grow a fast-growing, adaptable shade tree with Thornless Honey Locust seeds. The thornless variety of Honey Locust is prized for its open, airy canopy that provides filtered shade, making it an excellent choice for lawns, parks, streetscapes, and large landscapes. Its delicate, fern-like foliage turns attractive shades of yellow in autumn, adding seasonal beauty to the landscape.
Thornless Honey Locust is highly tolerant of drought, heat, urban conditions, and a wide range of soil types once established. These hardy trees can reach 50–70 feet tall with a broad, spreading crown. The seeds feature a high germination rate of 70–90% when properly scarified before planting. Sow seeds in spring after scarification for best results.
