Honey Locust is an elegant, large deciduous tree with frond like leaves that is also very tolerant of polluted atmospheres. Inconspicuous white/green pea like flowers in summer give rise to impressive long brown twisted seed pods in the autumn, and these have been used as cattle feed, since they are sweet.
