Description

The listing, Honey Locust Tree Seeds (honeysuckle fragrance) has ended.

Winner will get (5) Honey Locust Tree Seeds.

These seeds are from a honey locust tree in my yard. If you love the smell of honeysuckle, you will LOVE this tree, it has a heavenly scent of honeysuckle flowers.

You can look up how to plant and care for this tree online, but I will share what Ive learned and some facts about this tree below.

For planting these and for faster germination, I always soak the seeds at first in hot water and let soak for 24 hours before planting. I've just started this to test the seeds out and so far have 100% germination when I soak seeds the first. It only takes 1-2 weeks to sprout when I do it this way.

Honey Locust Tree care & facts:
The honey locust is an attractive, broadleaf tree with leaves similar to acacia or mimosa trees. It has wonderful honeysuckle fragrant flowers in the spring. Its a fast-growing tree that can grow to 20-25 feet in 6-7 years, and reach a total height of 70 feet. They are great shade trees & hardy, tolerating drought and pollution well. Grass can be easily grown underneath it as during the summer it casts a filtered light through its leaves.
Very drought tolerant and do well in most soils. For planting, space 20 to 30 feet apart, as the trees do grow rapidly.
The scientific name is Gleditsia triacanthos inermis. It is a deciduous, perennial tree & native to North America. The honey locust tree has a wide canopy and this helps grass to grow in its shade. It has a rapid growth rate and lives up to an average age of 100 years & can survive even with moderate irrigation in case there is less rainfall. Full sun or in a partly shady climate.

Hardiness planting zones 4-9

Not sure about it being a house plant, but yea maybe. That's a great thought :) It would be worth a try!! You could probably control the size of it by the size of the planting pot container.

I got 8 seeds from you in an auction not long ago. I was soaking 4 seeds over night and the boyfriend dumped out the cup of water they were in. So I soaked the other 4 and planted them and am now the proud mommy of a 4" tree sprout! I couldn't be happier with the lil guy! :)

These flowers on it are beautiful.I believe they would survive in north Florida wouldn't you I am right in the panhandle of Florida. We get hard freezes but lots of rain during hurricane season, what is your thought on this?

Yes definitely, this tree is very tolerant of lots of rain or drought. Not sure about hurricane weather (I live in Michigan) but My tree seems very strong in bad wind and storms. Its stronger than my maple trees, I get maple tree limbs that fall but almost never my locust and its over 25 years old :) Mine is blooming right now and flowers smell so wonderful. I can smell it in my house with the windows open, I love it!!! Yesterday I picked a few of the flowers and put in a vase indoors and It makes the whole house smell of honeysuckle, My favorite :) Thanks for your interest!! Let me know if you have any other questions. I will fan you :)
