It took longer to dethorn it...

That looks much more like a typical honey locust to me. In a recent thread somewhere, maybe here, someone said that girdling the tree a year or two ahead would cause the tree to shed its thorns. I guess it is worth a try.

 

But where are the birds going to nest? Talk about a home security system.

 

All the honey locusts around here appear to be naked compared to any of those shown on this thread.

The ones around here are all thornless and yard birds.

 

Don't even think a tree hugger would show that some love.

 

You're braver than me. I'd be afraid the thing would pull a Wizard of Oz on me and chase me down the road!

 

Be fun to watch them try. Maybe they'd need just a little Nudge.

 

Those are scary and I thought the Russia olive was bad...
Nice work

Went right through my shoe and into my heal.
