Fast shade. Zero maintenance. The tree that does it all without the thorns.

Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis, the Thornless Honey Locust, is the most practical large shade tree available to the North American landowner who wants fast results with minimal fuss. It casts light, dappled shade that allows grass to grow beneath it. Its feathery compound leaves emerge late in spring and drop early in fall, disappearing into the lawn without raking. It tolerates drought, compacted soils, road salt, air pollution, and urban heat that would stress or kill most other large shade trees. And it grows fast enough to provide meaningful canopy within a few years of planting. If you are looking to buy Thornless Honey Locust seeds or grow this adaptable native shade tree from seed, this is the tree that solves the most common landscaping problems simultaneously.

  • One of the fastest-growing large native shade trees available, gaining 3 to 7 feet per year in ideal conditions
  • Casts light, dappled shade that allows grass and underplantings to thrive beneath the canopy
  • Feathery compound leaves emerge late, drop early, and disappear quickly without creating a cleanup burden
  • Extraordinary tolerance for urban stress including drought, compacted soil, road salt, and air pollution
  • The thornless variety removes the only significant drawback of the native species

Things you probably did not know about the Thornless Honey Locust

The pods were a staple food for megafauna and humans alike.
The long, twisted seed pods of the Honey Locust contain a sweet pulp around the seeds that was eaten fresh by Indigenous peoples across the eastern and central United States. Like the Osage Orange, the large pods evolved to be eaten by mammoths, giant ground sloths, and other Pleistocene megafauna that are now extinct. The tree still produces these enormous pods for animals that largely no longer exist to eat them.

It can fix nitrogen.
Honey Locust belongs to the legume family and forms nitrogen-fixing associations with soil bacteria in its root system, improving soil fertility around it over time. This is one reason it colonizes disturbed and degraded soils so successfully. It is feeding its own growth by improving the soil chemistry beneath it.

The original species has fearsome thorns that can puncture tractor tires.
Wild Gleditsia triacanthos develops massive, branching thorns up to 8 inches long on the trunk and branches that historically served to deter browsing by large mammals. The thorns are so hard and sharp they were used by Indigenous peoples as pins, needles, and surgical instruments. The thornless variety, inermis, was selected specifically to remove this feature for landscape use.

Abraham Lincoln split Honey Locust rails.
Young Honey Locust wood is exceptionally hard, straight-grained, and splits cleanly, making it ideal for fence rails. Lincoln's legendary rail-splitting work in his youth in Illinois is believed to have involved primarily Honey Locust and Black Locust rails, which were the standard fencing material of the Midwest frontier.

Quit working after 30 days
Color: Black
This can opener worked fine for the first couple of weeks. It stopped working several days ago and even though I had recharged it, it would not turn on. I thought I would give it another try before I threw it away since I was past the refund period so I could not return it. I made 100% sure that it was plugged in securely and it did charge and worked today. Make sure that it is plugged in securely when charging. Hopefully it will continue to work and if not I will update my review.

USB Rechargeable Electric Can Opener
Color: Black
Item review update! Disregard my first review since then I realized that I didn't have the usb cable pushed in far enough for a connection which stopped the item from charging and that's why it stopped working. Item works as described, clean cut, easy to use and really worth the cost. I definitely recommend.

Very Easy to Use, no stress on your hands
Color: Black
I am 76 and my hands don’t grip the way they used to. Too hard using a manual can opener. This one definitely fits the bill, plus I like the rechargeable feature!
