@waltraud, @abread111, if gleditsia is in your nature reserve it would be a good idea to get rid of it or you could end up with thorny plants.

Mike is the seedling a sucker of one of the thornless adult trees?

Today on my way from gym in Lyneham I took photos of 2 Gleditsia trees growing side by side; both probably same age and planted; one full with seed pods, one without - I didn't check thorns. I recorded on CNM but since I'm not a moderator for the area I couldn't confirm so it may take a while.
