Gleditsia triacanthos

var. inermis 'Ruby Lace'


Ruby Lace Honeylocust

I have yet to see a specimen of this plant that would be worthy in my own landscape. The plants grown here in Ontario, Canada always seem to struggle and look very 'tired'. I suspect that cooler, summers with more moisture may enhance its appeal.
