These Hershey Seedlings will produce high quality pods similar, but not identical, to the grafted trees. They will take about 10 years to come into fruiting production. Hershey is an excellent producer of large, sweet pods on a low thorn tree. Said to have a 16 pod per pound average weight. Named after John W Hershey who long ago did survey trials that showed honey locust pods to be a quite delicious and acceptable food for humans.
