    I have a huge amount of Honey Locust I can cut. They grow like weeds around here. Problematic trees though. Heavy as hell, thorns as big and sharp as a switchblade and for some reason poison ivy loves to grow on them. Dumped a small one this morning and it was all my old ferd wanted and my back as well.

    Nice load sir. Common landscape tree around here and have only seen a couple with those vicious thorns.

    Hoping the PI doesn't get you. Seems to like the cherry and dead ash around these parts.
