Honeylocust | Gleditsia triacanthos 'inermis'
Honeylocust is a nitrogen fixer, meaning it adds fertility to the soil. It has delicate, feathery foliage and is adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions, including flooding and drought. This particular cultivar is also thornless! It will grow into a large tree if left to its own devices, but it can also handle coppicing (cutting back to the base of the plant) if you want to use it for mulch. This will also control its size and turn it into a multi-stemmed shrub monster.
