What does a locust tree look like? any pictures please?
One wicked crown.
Black locust has rose bush type thorns on it, pretty coarse bark, is green/yellow on the interior, small leaves...fernlike. Dense wood, once dried it is hard on chains, expect to sharpen frequently on larger diameters, little stuff like 6" is easy to work with. Just wear gloves to protect agains the thorns.
Due to the density, it burns great, once dried well.
Great fence posts, and would make perfect framework to keep your firewood off the ground since it'll last for decades.
The pic with the base of the tree with the huge poison ivy vines, is nearly 3.5 feet in diameter.
heh...i saw those vines and started itching again!!
Some of the thorns on that first pick are close to 14" long.
yeah, they look like something that should be in The Lord Of The Rings movies!!
