The Gleditsia Triacanthos Inermis Sunburst
is commonly known as the Sunburst Honeylocust or Sunburst Honey Locust.
It is one of the thornless forms (f. inermis) of the gleditsia triacanthos
species.
The Gleditsia Triacanthos Inermis Sunburst
can reach a height of 50 to 75 feet and with a width of 25 to 40 feet.
It is relatively short lived; about 120 years.
The leaf is 6 to 8 inch alternate, pinnately
to bipinnately compound leaf; yellow to yellow green fall color.
It features a fragrant, greenish yellow flowers and 7 to 8 inch brown seed
pods
The Sunburst Honeylocust is a deciduous
tree native to eastern North America found in the river valleys ranging
from southeastern South Dakota to New Orleans and central Texas, and as
far east as central Pennsylvania.
Its cultivars are popular ornamental plants,
especially in the northern plains of North America where few other trees
can survive and prosper. It tolerates urban conditions, compacted soil,
road salt, alkaline soil, heat and drought.
Also, its popularity is in part due to
the fact that it transplants so easily. The fast growth rate and tolerance
of poor site conditions make it valued in areas where shade is wanted quickly,
such as new parks or housing developments, and in disturbed and reclaimed
environments, such as mine tailings.
The Sunburst Honeylocust produces a high
quality, durable wood that polishes well, but the tree does not grow in
sufficient numbers to support a bulk industry. Its also used for posts
and rails since it works with soil so well and takes a long time to rot.
However a niche market exists for honey locust furniture. In the past,
the hard thorns of the younger trees have been used as nails.
