    Yep, I've got one in my front yard. Not a single thorn in the entire tree. There's a ton of them around here.

    I cut some pieces of the huge burning bushes I had to cut way back by my front door. I have a few pieces of it that I cut into 17" sections. I thought about your honeysuckle as I did it.

    What's better BTU wise in the house shrub firewood NCAA btu bracket? Burning bush or honeysuckle? Lol

    Bucked, split and stacked. Just the right amount to finish out one of my good wood stacks.

    Definitely honey locust. I survived an entire winter on the stuff one year. Had over 9 cord of it in my stacks at one point. Good stuff.....
