Our new stock is growing! New stock will be available 1st September 2025.About this product
This tidy clone was discovered from a seedling in New York and was released into the commercial market only after its performance had been monitored for about 20 years.
Gleditsia triacanthos Draves Street Keeper grows about half as wide as it is tall, making it ideal for a medium-sized garden. In the autumn, its fine foliage turns a vivid yellow.
Honey Locust thrives on most dry or wet soils; unlike its parent, Gleditsia triacanthos, it is virtually thornless.
Gleditsia triacanthos Draves Street Keeper has delicate foliage that is very pleasing to the eye. However, despite its dainty disposition, it is a tough tree that can tolerate urban conditions, including reflected heat and light from buildings and hard surfaces.
Mature height: 12-15m
