Honeylocust is narrowly distributed (8.0% of area), but has a fairly high IV in certain desparate locations across the western half of the eastern US. Its low reliable model suggests a slight expansion of suitable habitat to the northwest (though still classed as 'No change'). SHIFT limits the natural migration into those areas, however. With its high capacity to adapt to climate change, yields an overall capability of good. It is also classed as a good species for infilling if desired.



Family:  Caesalpiniaceae/Leguminosae

Guild: opportunistic, dispersal limited (large-seeded)
