Abstract
Honeylocust, Gleditsia triacanthos L., is a multipurpose tree with economic potential in temperate zone agroforestry management systems. A review of past research and results from an ongoing tree improvement research program and development of a silvopastoral ideotype are discussed. Constraints to realization of its full potential include: the lack of field tested systems; the need to develop mechanical harvesting procedures; a requirement for careful genotype/site matching; a lack of proven, consistent, heavy bearing varieties; thorniness; and variation in winter hardiness.Keywords
