honey locust ‘Skyline’

Gleditsia triacanthos f. inermis ‘Skyline’ (honey locust ‘Skyline’) is a fast growing and long-lived tree, reaching up to 75 feet tall. Honey Locust is native to North America and a member of the pea family, Fabaceae.

G. triacanthos has feathery leaves that provide filtered shade and turn yellow in the fall. In the wild this tree often has thorns but trees grown for landscaping are usually a thornless variety (var. inermis). Will tolerate as far as partial shade but will not succeed in full shade.
