Common Honeylocust
(Wide & Flat: Alternate Arrangement)

Medium sized, commonly 40'-50' but can reach 140' high. Found naturally on rich, moist bottomlands in southwestern Pennsylvania, but widely planted as an ornamental throughout. A thornless variety with clear yellow fall color has been developed for the nursery trade. The strong, hard wood is used for fence posts and general construction, but it is not widely available. Many animals, including cattle, feed on the pods and seedlings.
