Choose a site with full sun and well-drained soil. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots without crowding, place the tree so the root flare is at or slightly above soil level, and backfill with native soil. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help the tree establish. Once established, it is quite drought tolerant. Minimal pruning is needed, but you can remove any dead or crossing branches in late winter. This thornless variety is a low-maintenance choice for shade and landscape appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne live bare root Thornless Honey Locust tree, 18-24 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836024291638,"sku":"FOLIA2-1895","price":87.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6606601017_3n5i.jpg?v=1793097476","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/thornless-honey-locust-tree-live-bare-root-plant-18-24-inches","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
