Caution:  Honey Locust make great street and landscape trees but those trees are often grafted to ensure no thorns form. I would only get this tree if you know the potential for thorns and you know your site can handle it if they form. Although I select seeds from only a thornless variety, seedling Honey Locust will always have a small chance to develop large thorns.

Seedling

Seed is sourced from thornless trees. Then once grown for a season any trees presenting any thorn like quality are separated and only the "thornless" are listed for sale. This process should eliminate most trees that will develop thorns but the chance is never zero that thorns my present later on.
