Hi Kenny,
it's a Gleditsia triacanthos, common name: Honey locust.

Kenny,
Is there spikes all over the tree....
*Pokey lookin' thorns???*

Thanks guys, no there are no spikes on the tree, the trunk is smooth, that's why I was wondering the honey locust, I heard they are spposed to have hugh thorns.

I would say, no thorns, not a honey locust...

But maybe the family...

We'll keep lookin'!

We had a tree like that when I was growing up, we just called it a locust tree. They make great firewood, just about as good as hedge. However, I doubt that is why you're asking! lol

Could it be G.t.Inermis the thornless form of GLEDITSIA tricanthos [Honey Locust]?
