Improved Honey Locust Seedlings
These are seedlings grown from improved open-pollinated John W. Hershey honey locusts. Most of these seedlings come from a single parent tree “Big Fatty,” which as far as I know is the only honey locust with amazingly large, fleshy pods up to 38% sugar content that bears annually. Most honey locusts by contrast bear biennially, and also with smaller and less fleshy pods. The majority of these seedlings happen to come out thornless (50-75%), but there are thorny ones in the mix too. Ideal for silvopasture plantings as a winter forage. This tree species also has major potential for humans as an alternative sugar crop.
Bareroot seedlings, 12-16” tall.
