Shademaster Honeylocust Tree, Ball and Burlap

Like the name implies, Shademaster Honeylocust is a master of shade not too dense that your lawn thins from lack of light, but thick enough to cool the sun’s rays. Its dark, rich green foliage is striking as it emerges in the spring to form a rounded canopy ideal for average-sized yards. In some seasons, you can smell a soft fragrance from the tree’s not-so-showy flowers. In the fall the small, fern-like leaves turn golden yellow and are not an inconvenience as some other large-leafed trees can be.

Extra bonus with the Shademaster variety: it is pest and disease resistant as well as thornless—which is rare within the Honeylocust family.
