The honey locust is a tall handsome flat-topped tree, with stiff horizontal, often drooping branches, ending in slim brown polished twigs, with three-branched thorns, stout and very sharp, set a little distance above the leaf scar of the previous season.

Maple buds are small, and the leaf scar is a small, narrow crescent.

The leaf scar, therefore, is a circle and the leaf base a hollow cone.

It has been found, however, that this trouble may be easily overcome by the simple method of cutting off the leaf blade about three weeks in advance of when the budding is to be done so as to induce the formation of a leaf scar.

There is a leaf scar under each bud.
