Is this black locust?

[TBE]

Hello,

Could anyone confirm if this is a black locust? If not, what kind of tree is it? I live in West Michigan. Thanks!

Looks like it from here. If so beware of the thorns.

What do you mean? Are they just painful or harmful also? Thanks for your response, by the way!

Looks exactly like my black locusts in southern indiana. The thorns are mostly at the top as it gets bigger around, not poisonous but sure hurts to rub up against. Wilted leaves can be dangerous to livestalk in quantity. Spring blossoms are white and beautiful. The wood is yellowish very hard heavy and dense, great for fence posts and outdoor use.

yup BL. Thorns on it aren't as bad as honey locust. I very rarely see thorns on mature BL, and if I do its on small branches, seedlings, and saplings.

Black Locust.
Great for fence post, and some of the best firewood you'll ever burn. Very HOT and long burning.
