LIMIT ONE PER ORDER PLEASE; these are tubelings less than 12" tall. Will need extra care!
 
Medium size tree with a short, thorny trunk. Casts a light, filtered shade with its lose open crown. This is a straight species Honeylocust that will produce seed pods and thorns. Native Americans ate the fleshy sweet pulp of the young pods, and the pods and inner bark have been used medicinally in the past. Excellent fodder for farm animals and wildlife alike. A “pioneer” or early colonizing species, one of the first kinds of trees to become established in disturbed landscapes such as old fields and pastures that are reverting back to forest.
 
Fun fact
The Baltimore City Champion Honeylocust tree was measured in 2017 at 74' tall and wide. It is located across Art Museum Drive from Harriet Tubman Grove.
