  • Notes

Idaho Locust is a medium sized tree that grows to about 40 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide. Small, light green pinnate leaves turn yellow in autumn. 6 to 8 inch long pendents of rose-pink, fragrant flowers bloom in spring. Idaho Locust has a more open habit than Black Locust, and it has few or no seed pods, but it does have thorns.
