    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.

    Any kind of locust is good in my book. Good haul.
