Gleditsia triacanthos, honey locust, does not. Honey locust are farrrr less common, and from what I've seen are more or less planted individualy as ornamentals along sidewalks etc. Not sure why they don't produce seeds here but my suspicion is it isn't a cause of short growing season. As to the arrival of Robinia, I'm not sure. Since it is such a useful plant for homesteaders etc i wouldnt be surprised if they came with folks migrating from New England.
