Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis ‘Elegantissima’ Compact Honey Locust Small deciduous tree, broadly columnar to narrow domed with dense habit, thornless. Leaves alternate, compound pinnate or bi pinnate, yellow green in spring/summer turning yellow in autumn. Flowers catkins become inconspicuous amid emerging foliage. Bares little to no fruit, fruit are red/brown strapshaped pods. Attractive dark brown smooth bark broken up into long narrow ridges separated by deep furrows. An attractive contrast to the light coloured foliage. An adaptable tree that tolerates a wide range of soil and climatic conditions, best in moist sites and cooler climates. height x width (m) 5-7 x 3-5m origin Variety growth rate Moderate to fast flower colour Yellow-green, in clusters (male catkins). flowering time Spring. shade tolerance Full sun to part shade drought Tolerant of a wide range of soil types including drought but prefers moist well drained soil. low soil oxygen Tolerates clay, loam, sandy, acidic and alkaline soils and relatively wet sites with occasional flooding. compacted soils Highly tolerant, widely planted in urban areas and generally grows satisfactorily. pest + disease Generally not prone to insects that cause obvious damage to foliage. root disturbance Performs well with limited root space, there is the potential for damage to assets by vigorous surface roots. advanced Low incidence of problem from planting out as industry standard, 2m plus container grown trees. Easily transplanted. limb shear Species can be prone to acute branch attachments. Requires formative pruning to develop strong structure preferably with single trunk. weed risk No records of species becoming established in urban landscapes by self-sown seed. under powerlines Suitable. Small size likely to be below overhead services when mature. habitat value Not known to provide a specific food or habitat resource for native fauna.
