3434 NEW “MORAINE” LOCUST Plant Pat. No. 836 
THORNLESS, SEEDLESS, HARD WOOD, FAST GROWING, LONG LIVED 
AMERICA’S GREAT NEW SHADE TREE 
Developed and introduced by Siebenthaler Company of Dayton, Ohio. The perfect 
answer to the demand for a clean, fast-growing, long-lived shade tree. 
The MORAINE LOCUST is a round headed tree when young but tall and vase-shaped 
when older. Mature trees attain a height of 80 to 100 feet with lower branches high 
enough to clear a two story house. This feature permits planting the tree closer to the 
house than is the case with most other trees. Leaflets are small and in the fall they drift 
in between the grass blades on the lawn making very little raking or clean up. Very little 
pruning is needed as the lower limbs self prune as the tree grows. Tests show this new 
tree to grow more rapidly than either Silver Maple or Chinese Elm. It withstands drought 
and heat and cold. Thrives under adverse city conditions as well as on the plains where 
rainfall is slight. Excellent fcr either lawn or street planting. One of the best new tree 
introductions for American homes.
