Gleditsia triacanthos 'Halka' Common Names: Thornless Honeylocust

Description:

Thornless Honeylocust is an attractive shade tree. It has pinnately or bipinnately compound leaves. The numerous small leaflets are medium green in color and give the tree a fine texture. Form is round to widespreading and is somewhat irregular in growth. The crown is fairly open, and coupled with the fine foliage texture, provides light shade. This allows turf to be grown successfully underneath the tree. Fall foliage color is yellow. Fruit is a brown, twisted pod 8-15 inches long and about an inch wide. Most of the cultivars are fruitless. Thornless Honeylocust has been widely planted in residential and urban settings. Prefers a good fertile loam soil with ample moisture. Adaptable to a wide range of soils and environmental conditions. Fairly salt tolerant.
