The honey locust tree (Gleditsia triacanthos) is known for its rapid growth rate, typically adding 2 to 3 feet of height per year under optimal conditions. In ideal environments with full sun and well-drained soil, some specimens may even grow up to 5 feet annually. This fast growth makes it a popular choice for landscaping and shade.
