Black Locust in Bloom

Noticed they are flowering. Being taller trees they stand out. Wonder if they are fragrant?

 

VERY fragrant, my favorite floral smell actually. It sounds strange but they taste good too. Just like a sweet pea (I was eating the clusters by the handful last week )

 

Ours bloomed about 2 weeks ago or so. Well, the local ones. We don’t have any on the property.

 

Those pics are a few days old and i havent gone that way in a while.

 

Fragrant and bees make a fine honey from them. I wish I had more of that to bloom around my bees!

 

The Black Locust just finished blooming here and now the Basswood are in bloom. Bees love the basswood blossoms and the honey they produce from them is unique, I'm told.

 

BL blooms smell great prob my favorite its hard to describe the smell.

 

We have lotsa young BL trees.at work. The smell was awesome, even in the middle of the city!

 

Smell like future BTUs to me.

 

Pretty! I love spring!
