Thornless Honeylocust
Manchurian Ash

Thornless Honey Locust makes an excellent shade tree with its lacy foliage and dappled shade. The leaves are honey-yellow, light and airy, providing interesting color and texture to your landscape. This variety is thornless, and the seeds and pods provide food for wildlife such as deer and squirrels.

The Thornless Honey Locust is tolerant of drought, various soil conditions, and even road salt.

Manchurian Ash is a medium-sized deciduous tree.

Like Black Ash, it has long, serrated green leaves, but matches White Ash in height.

This hardy tree is a great choice for a shade tree on smaller home properties. Manchurian Ash prefers moister soils, making it a great landscape tree.
