    I really like black locust, and the history behind them is interesting. There are huge stands of it all over my area. When I see a grove of them from a distance, they kind of remind me of some of the trees I’ve seen in videos from Australia. That tall, skinny timber form with a narrow sparse crown. They have an otherworldly quality to them. Which is why I have a few growing in pots that I plan on transplanting this fall :)

    I agree. We had pizza near the Goodspeed opera house today and ate outside. I of course was admiring the grove of BL nearby! :loco: :crazy:
