Description

Gleditsia Shademaster is a fast-growing, medium-sized shade tree growing attractive, bipinnate leaves. It is slightly weeping in form and the foliage, which turns a rich golden yellow in autumn, produces a light and airy canopy for a lovely dappled shade effect. An ideal solution for those seeking light shade without the dense foliage associated with many other shade trees. As Gleditsia Shademaster’s leaves are fairly small, minimal cleanup is required after they have dropped in the autumn. Small, inconspicuous flowers emerge in spring followed by brown legumes. This thornless variety of Honey Locust does not produce seed pods.

Graceful in habit, Gleditsia Shademaster is very popular as a street tree and is especially suited to urban areas and parks thanks to its tolerance to air pollution. It would also make an elegant specimen shade tree for a larger garden or lawn. Very hardy and low-maintenance and tolerant of a range of soil types. Gleditsia Shademaster is estimated to reach a height and spread of approx. 10 x 8 metres in 20 years.

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
