Gleditsia (The Latin name commemorates Gottlieb Gleditsch, director of the Berlin Botanical Gardens, who died in 1786.) is a popular tree because of its  rapid growth and small leaves which provide filtered shade, but does not generate a mess to clean up in  fall.  We offer a number of varieties to choose from.  See below...
