    Well it wouldn't be black locust.

    I’d be a black walnut growing in the middle of an open field. Any young sapling that gets too close stressing me out will get a shot of juglone, and it’ll be night night for them :whistle: ;)

    What tree would you NOT like to be?

    two come to mind for me:
    1. The Giving Tree (never agreed with that book)
    2. Washington DC cherry blossom (regardless of who’s in office)
