Northern Acclaim® Thornless Honeylocust is a rugged, fast-growing shade tree that’s as tough as it is graceful. Its fine-textured, fern-like foliage provides dappled shade—ideal for creating a cooler microclimate without deep, sun-blocking shadows. The tree’s upright, vase-like form and nearly thornless branches make it easy to maintain and a favorite for urban and residential landscapes.

Exceptionally hardy and tolerant of extreme conditions, it stands up to cold winters, summer droughts, compacted soil, road salt, and air pollution with ease. In autumn, it puts on a brilliant golden show, turning bright yellow before dropping its small leaflets cleanly—no messy raking here.
