A very important tree for difficult planting sites. Skyline Honeylocust leafs out later than most other shade trees, thus protecting them from devastating late spring freezes and heavy snow. Skyline casts a light shade that won’t kill lawn grasses.
This tree is also very water thrifty and heat tolerant. Another advantage is because they drop their leaves very early in the fall and the small leaf size makes for little if any debris cleanup. Upright, spreading, uniform branches form a broadly pyramidal shade tree. Finely textured, dark green, fern-like foliage turns golden-yellow in fall.
An excellent choice for lawn areas and near streets because its deep roots stay well below the surface. Thornless.
