Twisty Baby Black Locust - Robinia psudoacacia

[dogbane26]

Robinia pseudoacacia grows fine throughout most of the US.  

Some people consider it an invasive pest tree,  and im not sure but maybe the honey made from it is poisonous?     I guess the flowers are fragrant which attract the bees.

It is a legume and in this natural park where I live you can find the seedpods everywhere.  

I wouldn't buy seeds from anyplace online since I can find it growing wild myself.  

It is kind of cool since it has the sharp spines coming right out of the bark itself, no wonder it is called pseudoacacia.
