NORTHERN ACCLAIM HONEYLOCUST  Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis ‘Northern Acclaim’
• A superior, cold‑hardy honeylocust selected specifically for northern prairie climates, valued for its toughness, reliability, and graceful, finely textured canopy.
• Features bright green, fern‑like foliage that casts light, dappled shade—ideal for lawns and underplanting—and turns a clear, luminous yellow in fall for excellent seasonal color. Has small inconspicuous green flowers that may be of interest to native bees and other pollinators.
• Thornless and seedless, eliminating the mess and maintenance concerns associated with older honeylocust selections; maintains a clean appearance throughout the growing season.
• Extremely adaptable to urban and prairie conditions, thriving in alkaline soils, compacted sites, drought, wind, and reflected heat; one of the most resilient shade trees for harsh exposures.
• Fast‑growing yet structurally sound, forming a broad, upright‑spreading crown that remains tidy and well‑balanced with minimal pruning.
• Full Sun
• Zone 3, 12–15 m Height × 10–12 m Width
