We’ll focus on a widely used cultivar, Gleditsia triacanthos ‘Skyline’. The tree is frequently used in residential streets, avenues, roads, and parks. It is also commonly planted in squares and shopping districts in European city centers.
The tree forms a beautiful pyramidal to umbrella-shaped crown that does not produce thorns and may not produce pods until it reaches maturity. The tree is known for its open crown, often featuring characteristically whimsical branches, which is particularly noticeable in winter. People appreciate its open structure, beautifully pinnate leaves, and stunning golden-yellow fall color. In the summer, the sun plays through the small, pinnate leaves.
The cultivar was introduced by Cole Nurseries in Ohio (1957).
