Spread:  35 feet

Sunlight:  full sun

Hardiness Zone:  3b

Description:

Proving to be one of the hardiest of all the honeylocust selections, with a broadly upright form and fine, almost lacy dark green foliage that turns yellow in fall; adaptable and surprisingly drought resistant, casts a filtered shade

Ornamental Features

Northern Acclaim® Honeylocust has forest green deciduous foliage on a tree with a horizontally-tiered habit of growth. The bipinnately compound leaves turn an outstanding yellow in the fall.

Landscape Attributes

Northern Acclaim® Honeylocust is an open deciduous tree with a stunning habit of growth which features almost oriental horizontally-tiered branches. It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture to the landscape composition which can make it a great accent feature on this basis alone.

This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. Deer don’t particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Northern Acclaim® Honeylocust is recommended for the following landscape applications;

  • Shade

Planting & Growing

Northern Acclaim® Honeylocust will grow to be about 45 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 35 feet. It has a high canopy with a typical clearance of 7 feet from the ground, and should not be planted underneath power lines. As it matures, the lower branches of this tree can be strategically removed to create a high enough canopy to support unobstructed human traffic underneath. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 70 years or more.

This tree should only be grown in full sunlight. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under average home landscape conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a selection of a native North American species.

Celtis occidentalis Species Native to Missouri Common Name: hackberry  | Type: Tree Family: Cannabaceae Native Range: Central and northeastern North America Zone: 2 to 9 | Height: 40.00 to 60.00 feet Spread: 40.00 to 60.00 feet  | Bloom Time: April to May Bloom Description: Green | Sun: Full sun to part shade Water: Medium to wet  | Maintenance: Low Suggested Use: Shade Tree, Street Tree, Rain Garden Flower: Insignificant | Attracts: Birds, Butterflies Fruit: Edible | Tolerate: Drought, Clay Soil, Wet Soil, Air Pollution Culture Best grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates part shade. Also tolerates wind, many urban pollutants and a wide range of soil conditions, including both wet, dry and poor soils. Noteworthy Characteristics Celtis occidentalis, commonly called common hackberry, is a medium to large sized deciduous tree that typically grows 40-60’ (less frequently to 100’) tall with upright-arching branching and a rounded spreading crown. Trunk diameter ranges from 1-3’ (less frequently to 4’). This tree is a U.S. native that is widely distributed throughout the east and midwest. It is common in Missouri where it typically occurs statewide in low woods along streams and in drier upland slopes (Steyemark). Mature gray bark develops corky ridges and warty texture. Insignificant, mostly monoecious, greenish flowers appear in spring (April–May), with male flowers in clusters and female flowers solitary. Female flowers give way to an often abundant fruit crop of round fleshy berry-like drupes maturing to deep purple. Each drupe has one round brown seed within. Fruits are attractive to a variety of wildlife. Birds consume the fruits and disperse the seeds. Fleshy parts of the fruit are edible and somewhat sweet. Ovate to oblong-ovate, rough-textured, glossy to dull green leaves (2-5” long) have mostly uneven leaf bases and are coarsely toothed from midleaf to acuminate (sharply pointed) tip. Undistinguished yellow fall color. Genus name comes from the Greek name for another tree. Specific epithet means Western. Problems Hackberry nipple gall is so common in the St. Louis area that it is often used as an aid in identifying the tree. Although the galls do not hurt the tree, they often significantly disfigure the leaves. Witches’ broom (dwarfed, dense, contorted twig clusters at the branch ends) is also somewhat common. It also does little harm to the tree, but can be quite unsightly. Powdery mildew, leaf spot and root rot may occur. Watch for lacebugs and scale.Syringareticulata 'Ivory Silk' Ivory Silk Japanese tree lilac Ivory Silk' is a small tree or large shrub which typically grows 20-25' tall with a rounded crown. Creamy white, fragrant, single flowers are arranged in dense, terminal clusters (panicles to 12" long). Blooms later than most other species of lilac (late May to early June in St. Louis). Elliptic to ovate, dark green leaves (to 5" long). Attractive reddish-brown bark. Effective as a specimen in the landscape. Tree forms are effective along streets, in lawns, near decks/patios or in foundations. Shrub forms are effective in borders or small groups. May be used as a screen along property lines. Zone: 3 to 7 Height: 20.00 to 25.00 feet Spread: 15.00 to 20.00 feet Bloom Time: May to June Bloom Description: Creamy white Sun: Full sun to part shade Water: Medium Maintenance: Low Suggested Use: Street Tree, Flowering Tree Flower: Showy, Fragrant Attracts: Hummingbirds, Butterflies Other: Winter Interest Tolerate: Deer, Clay SoilMalus 'Adirondack' Crabapple  Botanical Name: Malus 'Adirondack' (NA 54943; PI 499828) Family: Rosaceae Hardiness: U.S.D.A. Zone 4 - 8 Development  Five hundred open-pollinated seedlings of Malus halliana were artificially inoculated with fire blight under control conditions. Of the sixty surviving seedlings, several showed field resistance to scab, cedar-apple rust, and powdery mildew when exposed to natural inoculum from heavily infected, susceptible plants during eleven years of field trial. 'Adirondack' was selected from this seedling population in 1974 by Donald R. Egolf and released in 1987. Significance 'Adirondack' exhibits a combination of many desirable traits that make it a near-perfect crabapple. The narrow obovate, upright-branched growth habit combines with an annual bloom cycle, abundant, small, persistent fruit, slow to moderate growth rate, and multiple disease tolerance that is rare in crabapple. Highly rated for both aesthetics and disease resistance by the International Ornamental Crabapple Society. Description Height and Width: 18 feet tall and 16 feet crown width at 20 years. Habit Narrow obovate, upright-branched small tree. Maintains upright form with age. Foliage Leathery dark green leaves. The foliage is highly tolerant to cedar apple rust, apple scab, and powdery mildew. Flowers Annual flowering. Dark carmine buds mature to a lighter red and open to white, waxy, heavy-textured, wide-spreading flowers with traces of red; slightly fragrant. Fruit A pome. Abundant, bright orange-red, hard, small (1/2-inch) fruit persist until early winter. Relished by birds after softened by freezing. Culture Adaptable to diverse soil, moisture, and climatic conditions. Requires virtually no pruning to maintain its shape nor chemical controls for the common crabapple diseases. Propagation Most commercial propagation is by budding or grafting onto compatible rootstocks. Roots easily from softwood cuttings in late spring, under mist, 3000 ppm IBA, in 4 weeks. Landscape Use Effective for foundation plantings of buildings or formal gardens; as a specimen for space-limited situations; a strong focal accent in the shrub border or residential garden; park and recreational area screen; roadside or street tree where shade is not important.American Sentry | Tilia American Sentry Height:  40 feet Spread:  20 feet Sunlight:  full sun Hardiness Zone:  3a Other Names:  Basswood, American Linden Description: A stately tree with a narrow upright habit of growth for smaller yards and spaces, features tightly upright branching, leaves turn rich gold in fall; fast growing and vigorous, resistant to insect attacks Ornamental Features American Sentry Linden features subtle clusters of fragrant buttery yellow flowers with tan bracts hanging below the branches in early summer.
