This cultivar's crown outline is rounded and casts a light shade. Imperial honeylocust is susceptible to a multitude of pests as is its parent species. Gleditsia triacanthos var. 300 Blk W. Holmes Moraine honeylocust is seedless and was the first thornless variety of honeylocust to be patented. This cultivar can reach 50 feet in height and has a dark green leaf coloration.
Moraine shows greater resistance to webworm than most of the newer cultivars.
Gleditsia triacanthos var. Shademaster - 124 E. Dwight Shademaster honeylocust is my favorite honeylocust. This cultivar's ascending branch habit reduces the need for pruning and it has dark green leaves coupled with a moderate growth rate. Shademaster can reach 50 feet in height with a crown spread of 40 feet and it tolerant of city growing conditions. This information is for educational purposes only.
