Honey locust

Just the name of that plant is super cool.

Right? And then one that I've, like, come across a lot is a honey locust.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, yes.

But the concept of the bread tree doesn't stop at the frost line.

That just requires a completely different biological architecture, which brings us to the cold-hardy champion of the leguminous trees, the honey locust

Here's where it gets really interesting for most of the country.

The honey locust, or Gleditsia triacanthos, is essentially the carob's rugged, cold-hardened cousin

It's built for the freeze

It evolved to handle brutal realities.

It's everywhere

It is the perennial engine designed specifically for the American Corn Belt

You said it's a honeysuckle?

Yes, it's oak locust, honey locust.

Honey locust.

And it was not strategically planned there by the city or anything like that.

It kind of just grew there.
