Gleditsia Triacanthos var. Inermis ‘Shademaster’ (Shademaster Honey Locust)

Gleditsia Triacanthos var. Inermis ‘Shademaster’ is an attractive, fast-growing deciduous tree prized for its elegant form and generous filtered shade. Its fine, fern-like green foliage creates a soft, graceful appearance throughout the warmer months before turning a beautiful golden yellow in autumn. Unlike the common Honey Locust, ‘Shademaster’ is thornless and typically produces little to no seed, making it a cleaner and more practical choice for residential gardens and landscaped areas.

Ideal as a feature, avenue or shade tree, ‘Shademaster’ develops a broad, spreading canopy while still allowing filtered sunlight to reach lawns and garden beds beneath it. This hardy and adaptable tree performs well in a variety of soil conditions and tolerates heat, drought and urban environments once established. Customers seeking a reliable, low-maintenance tree with year-round visual appeal will appreciate its combination of attractive foliage, cooling shade and striking autumn colour.
