Gleditsia Triacanthos Var. Inermis ‘Sunburst’ (Sunburst Honey Locust) is a graceful deciduous feature tree admired for its bright golden-yellow new foliage and elegant, airy canopy. The fresh spring growth creates a vibrant display before maturing to soft green, giving the landscape beautiful seasonal colour and a light, refined texture. Its delicate, fern-like leaves allow filtered sunlight through, making it ideal for lawns, garden beds, streetscapes, and larger landscape areas.

Perfect for customers wanting a hardy, attractive, and low-maintenance shade tree, Sunburst Honey Locust brings warmth, movement, and structure to outdoor spaces. Its open canopy makes it easier to grow underplanting or lawn beneath compared with denser shade trees, while its golden foliage adds a standout ornamental feature. This tree is an excellent choice for adding seasonal colour, soft shade, and long-lasting garden appeal.
