This really is what a specimen Gleditsia triacanthos inermis looks like! It is worth noting how much new growth there is all over, which is particularly evident at the top of the tree. That’s the result of this year’s rainy spring, which gave rise to a tremendous amount of twig extension on most plants around here.
