North Museum, 400 College Avenue, Lancaster PA (towards rear of building near College Avenue)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With a trunk circumference at breast height of about 12 feet, this tree is one of the largest Honey Locusts in the county. It\u2019s also one of the most remarkable trees in the county because of its campus location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The species\u2019 long thorns \u2014 which protected the tree against browsing megafauna in the Pleistocene (giant deer, mammoths, etc.) \u2014 make this tree questionable in areas where the public may stray. \u201cThe long needle-sharp thorns are extremely vicious,\u201d one arborist has noted, \u201cand are not suitable for a domestic landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honey Locusts in the nursery trade these days are invariably thornless cultivars, yet this beautiful natural tree remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This amazing species has seed pods that contain sweet pulp which grazing herbivores eat.\u00a0\u00a0Later,\u00a0the viable (and fertilized) seeds are excreted in their droppings. \u00a0Thus can this tree’s off-spring begin life at some distance from their parent.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
