Gleditsia triacanthos, or honey locust, is a cultivar of a tree native to Ontario. It is a durable, adaptable tree known for its tolerance to various soil conditions, drought, and road salt, as well as its small, yellow leaflets. It grows quickly in moist to well-drained soils, making it popular in urban and suburban landscapes. Overuse has led to potential biodiversity concerns so consider alternative tree options before planting honey locust, especially in park and residential areas.
