The thornless Honeylocust (Gledistsia triancantos f. inermis) is a popular lawn and street tree in the Midwest and East.  Its 1/2″ leaves, which turn a rich golden yellow in fall, create a filtered shade enabling grass to grow underneath.  Additionally the leaves do not need to be raked in fall due to their small size.
