Perfect Shade Tree for Your Backyard or Garden
Why Shademaster Honeylocust Trees?
The Shademaster Honeylocust is everything you could want in a shade tree and more. Providing perfect dappled shade with a classic rounded shape, the Shademaster Honeylocust Tree is highly adaptable, tolerant, hardy, and pest and disease-free.
It's synonymous with the classic shade tree. Though shade trees come in many shapes and sizes, there's something nostalgic about the rounded canopy of a Shademaster Honeylocust. Growing to a large mature height, the Shademaster is ideally sized and rounded, ensuring a timeless Americana look you'll love in your lawn.
And small leaves mean no mess to clean up in the fall. Other shade trees have huge foliage that leave a big mess to clean up in autumn. The Shademaster Honeylocust's leaves are small and delicate But though the leaves may be small, they still dazzle during fall. Turning from bright spring green to golden yellow, the transition of colors on these leaves are reminiscent of the nostalgic sights and smells of autumn.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: The Shademaster Honeylocust can be planted in any soil or air condition, but it needs to be placed in a spot that receives full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day).
Plant in a hole twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball. There is no need to amend the soil. You can add mulch under the canopy, but not near the trunk, as the dappled shade will allow plant life to flourish under the canopy.
2. Watering: This tree can tolerate wet or dry conditions. Be sure to water the tree weekly in its young life to ensure proper growth. Generally, checking the soil about 2 inches down and watering when dryness is detected is best.
Other than planting and watering, this tree does not require any pruning, fertilizing or pest or disease management.

United StatesHave high hopes for this tree!
From ordering to arrival everything was good. The shipment was delayed a couple of days, but can understand. When it arrived it was packaged very well. I was a little concerned that when I removed the plastic and went to pick up the root ball, it fell apart and a little concerned that there weren't many roots. I went ahead and planted it per the instructions and after a week, though some branches wilted and had to be removed, the remaining branches look healthy. I'll update after a few weeks to see how the tree grows. But overall, for now, very happy!
United StatesWhat a Lovely Tree!
Delivery and the way it was packaged was genius! It arrived in a burlap bag and very clear instructions. I got a water bag and its so happy! I live watching it grow and new leaves appearing! I've already received several compliments on it!
United StatesSo far, so good
My Thornless Honeylocust arrived beautifully packaged so there was NO damage at all. I had the hole all ready to go so it was very simple to put it in place. I was concerned because there was only a small tuft of leaves at the very top (it was about 6’) and the trunk itself looked a bit spindly so I staked it (probably would have done so anyway as the area gets a lot of strong winds). Other reviews have said they had new growth almost immediately but I’ve not had that luck. Still, it’s a happy little tree which I hope very soon will be a happy BIG tree! The other trees I’ve purchased here have all done astoundingly well (a 3’ maple planted 3 years ago is about 15’ now with good branching). I’m really VERY happy and will probably purchase more items from time to time.
United StatesHealthy little tree
My honey locust arrived in great shape and took immediately to it's new home even though it was a hot summer day when I planted it. It's a really pretty tree... I swear it's grown already in just a few weeks.
United StatesBest tree in the Nation
Great packaging, ready to plant, good instructions, very healthy and well-pruned, I'm totally satisfied.
