Honey Locust is widely used in landscape designs, as the trees are attractive, very hardy and the open canopy will not shade out turf grasses and other landscape plants. 

Honey Locust is also used as a food source by wildlife. The bean pods that it produces is a favorite food of white-tailed deer, squirrels, rabbits and more. Domesticated goats and cattle also enjoy the pods this tree produces. 

Honey Locust does not like shade and needs ample sunshine to thrive. It grows best in moist, well-drained soil with high organic content. Water liberally after transplanting.
