This genus is not native
to Oregon and is currently not fully described on this website.
- Leaves: Pinnately and doubly-pinnately compound
leaves (gives the foliage a feathery appearance); alternate and deciduous.
- Fruit: Long (sometimes 1 foot or more!), brown
seed pods that are flat and curley-cue so that the wind can roll them
redistributing the seeds distant from the "mother" tree.
- Twigs: Some honeylocusts have huge, sharp,
multi-pointed thorns, but most ornamental honelocusts were bred not
to have them.
