User's notes
100s of pods and 1000s if not 10000s of seeds... Gleditia tricanthos is one of the 2 street tree species planted in the narrow street verges of The Fair, North Watson opposite of nature reserve; the other is Callery Pear (3 different cultivars). Dispersal by water; I'm not sure whether and which wildlife disperses seeds. Declared weed in NSW, QLD, WA; planted in ACT by the ACT Government, developers and residents, garden escape into nature reserve behind Rivett Street.
