Honeylocust

Honeylocust trees flowers provide nutrition for bees, and their seed pods and seeds are commonly consumed by livestock and wildlife such as rabbits, deer, and squirrels. These trees can tolerate most of the tough conditions created by urban areas such as wet and dry sites, salt, compacted soil, and pollution. Honeylocusts produce fragrant, greenish-yellow blossoms.
