Honeylocust

Gleditsia triacanthos
This native tree is fast growing, attaining heights of 60-95 ft., and can be borderline invasive. It is commonly seen along fence lines and in open fields.  The thorns are quite large (1-4 inches) and certainly act as a deer deterent.  However, the cultivars are actually nice shade trees which are tolerant of the urban environment.  There are some pest and pathogens that can affect the trees. This can be minimized by mixing different varieties in one planting group. A honey-like substance is found in its pods, thus the honeylocust name.
