Yes it does look like apple.Definitely not. Don't know hardwoods of the PNW, almost looks like apple in this photo
I beg to differ, black locust in its early growth has some of the nastiest thorns out there! Wild plum is also full of thorns.I have burned a lot of black locust. Nothing like that. Black locust doesn't have thorns, honey locust does though. I have had very little plum but it did look like that.
Yes, and I have the scars to prove it.I beg to differ, black locust in its early growth has some of the nastiest thorns out there!.
Thorns are on the branches on the Black locust.I have heard that there is both thorn and thorn free black locusts, but any I have cut did not have thorns. Seen plenty of thorny honey locusts though. I wonder if the cross breed and hybridize.
Regardless this is certainly not locust at the beginning of this thread.
When they sprout around here, their thorns not only scratch like a m f er, if you get poked by one they break the tip of the thorn off inside you and fester like redwood! They do resist rot a lot like redwood as well, make great fence posts! We have many patches of them all over the property.Thorns are on the branches on the Black locust.
