A Shademaster Honeylocust is a cultivar of the Honey Locust tree known for its thornless nature, finely divided fern-like leaves that create light dappled shade, and a rounded canopy shape; it is considered a great choice for providing shade without excessive mess due to its small, easily manageable leaves that turn yellow in the fall and a lack of large seed pods typical of other Honey Locust varieties; this tree is also highly tolerant of drought and compacted soils, making it a good option for urban areas.
