Notes
'Impcole' honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos 'Impcole') is a tree for use as a specimen. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. Greenish yellow flowers open in spring and early summer, and they draw butterflies and bees. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. The tree is drought tolerant and salt tolerant.
