Does a honey locust drop a lot of debris?
The tiny leaflets are the selling point — they blow away instead of needing raking — but they pack gutters, window wells, and pool filters, which is why honeylocust gutter calls spike every November. The straight species and older selections also drop long flat brown pods that need shoveling rather than blowing, while the modern podless cultivars largely skip that.
How much tree is dropping it
Roughly 40 to 70 ft tall with a broad, open, spreading crown and fast early growth. Do not read long life into that size — during the 1980s decline, honeylocusts under 30 years old were dying of Thyronectria canker across multiple states — and the open light branching means removal usually sits in a lower cost bracket than a comparable-height oak.
