Hello,

 

That time of the year again when we are sourcing plant material for the coming years plantings. This year I have a project (actually been going now since 1996) where I am establishing our third planting of Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) in a mixed species Agroforestry/pasture alley system. In the past we have used G. triacanthos var. Inermis (thornless). My research has indicated that the “Millwood” variety is also “unarmed” and has the high sugar/yield attributes together with an upright form (long term timber) that make it a viable variety for production purposes.

 

As such if anyone, preferably in Australia, knows or has seed or graft material of this or any other H. Locust varieties would they please let us know.

 

Cheers,

 

Yours and Growing,
