A common shade tree that has been long valued for the dappled shade provided by the airy framework of the small specimens. The vigorous plants showcase fine-textured, compound leaves that are typically bright green in color through the growing season and yellow cast in fall. Though variable in size, most standard forms top out in the 30-50' range at maturity. The straight species, Gleditsia triacanthos, sports sadistic 3" thorns capable of sending those with faint hearts running. Fortunately, the form inermis is thornless and much more amenable to average garden settings. Plants are native on the fringes of New England ranging from Pennsylvania to Nebraska and south to Texas.
