Product Overview
LATIN NAME: Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis
COMMON NAME: Thornless Honey Locust
SEED TREATMENT: Hot Water Scarify by pouring boiling water over the seeds and let sit for 24 hours before planting.
THORNLESS: I find a small amount of the seeds will produce trees with thorns (maybe 2-10%). I usually discard them, although I have been told by another grower that they will eventually grow out of them.
USES: edible pods, nitrogen-fixer, biomass, nectary, rootstock for grafting improved cultivars
