Gleditsia: Graceful and Light-Filled Canopies.
Gleditsia trees, often known as honey locusts, bring a sense of lightness and elegance to the garden with their fine, feathery foliage and open, airy canopies. These trees create dappled shade, perfect for planting over seating areas or in borders where you want to allow other plants to thrive beneath. Varieties like Gleditsia triacanthos ‘Sunburst’ add a touch of gold to the garden, with fresh yellow leaves in spring that gradually mellow to a soft green. Their delicate, layered foliage adds texture and movement to the landscape, creating a calming, inviting space.
