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.

Perfect size!
I love a good large hobo bag! This one has a great slouch to it and you can fit a ton in it! I've had everything from my iPad and a makeup bag plus yoga clothes and still had room for a water bottle too! The fabric is gorgeous and although I'm not always keen on logo-prints, I like that the bag's print is so understated and discreet.

Large, non zipping, sturdy, stylish
large cream MK purse I’m giving my thoughts on this purse that I got recently and here is what I liked. Size- This is a large purse. It has one large main compartment that is secured with a gold, snapping clasp. It doesn’t come apart unless you push both sides of this clasp. 1 pocket inside for my phone or whatever I need quick access to. 2 vertical outside pockets with working zipper. The pockets run the height of the purse and are narrow. I can get a skinny water bottle in there. Not Adjustable This comes with a short shoulder strap. The strap is not removable. There are two D-rings (H-ring) on each side that hold the strap so if I want I can add a long strap. Really though, this is not the kind of purse that would look good with a long strap. There is plenty of room to put the purse on your shoulder and it feels very secure. Look and feel It looks and feels like leather to me but it says PU which is not leather. I’m fine with that. It is firm in a sturdy strong way, having structure and can stand up on a table. The material is the kind you can wipe with a damp cloth. This purse is not going to get stained unless it’s something like ink that stains practically everything. Mine has monogram NK but if you don’t look real close, I think it looks a lot like a designer purse with the monogram m and k. Function I tend to change purses a lot so I keep things in smaller bags. For example, I have small bags for makeup, medical etc and they fit neatly in here. There is not a designated place for cards and cash so you’d need a wallet or you could put it in the inside pocket. I use a medium sized wallet. My iPhone 14 with case fits in the inside pocket and hasn’t fallen out yet. The 2 outside zipper pockets are large enough to hold my phone and my wallet, one on each side. I can’t think of anything I’d add or change right now. This is a very nice bag to carry everyday. The holding capacity is similar to the neverfull. I’m happy I got this and can recommend it to you. It’s nice looking, makes good use of space, and for me, was a good deal.

Quality is not there, I am very disappointed!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
I am one of those very rare ladies that will wait until her previous purse is on its last leg before I buy a new one. That is when I decided I needed this one. Once I opened the package I noticed a very distinct odor, it was very obviously the purse and it was not a "new" smell it was very off-putting. The purse does not seem very durable as I noticed loose threads throughout the lining of the purse. I was also a little disappointed that this purse is so large but it only had one very large square pocket on the inside. The only reason I gave this more than one star is because of the two very nice pockets on the purse front. I appreciate what they were trying to do, I do not think they were quite up to par on the quality, I would not recommend this item.

Beautifully Branded and Roomy Tote Bag
This bag arrived well packaged. It was enclosed in a plastic sleeve that had a cardboard insert covering 2 sides of the bag. The bag was also inside a cloth type bag that is usually reserved for expensive purses/bags. There was also protective material covering the bag’s handle and clasp. The packaging protected the bag and there were no damage when received. When I removed the bag from its packaging, the “NK” excited and confused me. At first glance, I thought that I had mistakenly received THE designer bag with similar logo branding. There are decorative zippers on the front of the bag which uniquely camouflage 2 roomy front pockets. This was a great idea since it enables me to store items there (keys, coin purse, mints) without having to enter the bag’s main compartment to retrieve them. The closing clasps operate without incident and compliment the look of the bag. The handle allows you to throw it over the shoulder or just carry in your hands. The inside is very roomy, is nicely lined and has a pocket where you can slip items in so they don’t get lost inside the bag. The roominess of the bag reminds me more of a tote bag than a purse. Overall, this is a really nice bag that I am proud to own.
