PLANT PROFILE

Gleditsia triacanthos 'Shademaster', known as Shademaster Honeylocust, is an elegant and adaptable deciduous tree prized for its delicate fern-like foliage that emerges vibrant green and transforms into stunning golden hues in autumn. Growing 12–18 meters tall with a broad, open pyramidal to oval canopy spanning 8–15 meters, it adds sophistication and seasonal interest to parks, streets, and gardens.

This low-maintenance tree features inconspicuous spring flowers followed by seed pods, thrives in full sun to partial shade, and tolerates urban pollution and diverse soil types. With moderate drought tolerance once established, Shademaster Honeylocust is a reliable choice for landscapes needing beauty, shade, and resilience.

  3. Remove from the Bag: Carefully remove the tree from the 45L bag.
  4. Plant the Tree: Position the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
  5. Backfill: Fill the hole with soil and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.
