Description

An ideal tree for city streets, this cultivar boasts the tight, narrow form that has long been lacking in urban tolerant honeylocust. The ascending branch structure gives Street Keeper™ a canopy that is only half as wide as other cultivars. The original tree has been nearly seedless. Foliage is deeper green than other selections.
