Thornless Honeylocust

Abstract

A new Thornless Honeylocust being seedless and having a rapid rate of growth and dense crown.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new variety and the parts thereof, of Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis `Wandell` as described herein that differs from other varieties by the unique combination of: (1) a distinct broadly pyramidal growth form; (2) a uniform branch angle; (3) a dense compact crown composed of many lateral branches; (4) a high leaf population of deep green foliage; and (5) a rapid rate of growth demonstrated by the development of many lateral branches at an early age and the early development of caliper on juvenile trees propagated from the parent tree.
