Black locust is a GREAT nectar/honey source for bees. So if you're keeping bees for honey production, they are worth having for that.

Only issue I have is that often people only seem to recommend black locust for temperate food forests. There are other nitrogen fixing trees that can be coppiced or pollarded that are better for soil building. Several types of alders for example are great for this and will fix nitrogen at a higher rate than locust will. There is even an alder here that grows as a shrub giving some nice options when a tree does not work. Plus, alders rot much faster making them great for soil building and they fix nitrogen at a higher rate than locust. But if you want the rot resistant building material or great fire wood then black locust is a great choice. I would grow enough locust to provide the wood I need and then I would pick other utility trees for soil building since in that case you want the wood to rot quickly. I plan to use a mix of alders and maples to get quick biomass plus nitrogen from the alders. All trees I can pollard or coppice. I may plant a small locust grove to provide a good wood supply for my homestead. Still figuring out my design--taking time to observe and work on my water systems.

Thanks for adding this layer of thought onto this. I should have gone into that in this video, but wanted to keep the focus here. By all means, Black Locust is just one of many very legitimate plants that can do good work in early succession. Other excellent N-fixers to explore: River Locust (Amorpha Fruiticosa) Goumi Honey Locust Seaberry Autumn Olive Alders FOR SURE! Groundnut (for the vining layer) So so many more... Black Locust is just one ingredient in a rich and diverse design, and may very well be inappropriate as the choice in many contexts (the thorns and suckering habit can be really incompatible with land use for folks). Thanks for reminding us of the wider lens here!

I love Black Locust. It is native to the region I'm from(southeastern USA), so I grew up exposed to it. With a little proper management(mostly just not leaving it unmanaged after root disturbance/pollarding/coppicing), then it is well-behaved. The flowers in spring are stunning and smell like heaven. The bees will love and appreciate you. It casts a beautiful, light, dappled shade that doesn't adversely affect most plants. It also fixes nitrogen in the soil and shares it with nearby plants.

black locust flowers are delicious to eat. pick them when they are just about to bloom or just bloomed the same day. A simple recipe is mixing the flower with a flour/egg coating and make a pancake. Another recipe is coat the flowers with flour and steam for 5-10 minutes, dress with soysauce and sesame seed oil. you can also steam the flower then sun dry them for longer storage. very nutritious and delicious.

I have a lot of BL here in Serbia and I agree with all you say. My only gripe is with the way it burns, or rather smolders, always too many sparks compared to my favorite firewood, wild plum, but the locust makes much straighter poles and posts, so wins from that angle. Have you tried making hiking poles from it? I made one from a branch a little under an inch in diameter from which the bark had begun to rot off. It didn't need much straightening and when I sanded it down and oiled it, the outer sap wood went a lovely toffee brown, and the thorn knots really popped out, they look like eyes with a darker 'pupil' and a much lighter ring round them - really nice effect, and a light strong stick.

Love this overview of Locust. I have rediscovered locust from being allowed to harvest one that fell a few years ago. The grain was so beautiful and hard. I am used to looking for oak and walnut, as that is more prevalent to find around here, and I mostly cut for firewood these days. Anyway, I couldn't believe how little I knew of the tree and have fallen in love with it. I saw your video on root prop. of locust and will try the technique. Thanks for the great content!

Definitely have learned that mid to later spring is the ideal time to take root cuttings, and we will take them and put them in a well drained soil in a container that stays in a high tunnel or other very warm space for a bit to help stimulate growth before planting out. Worked well and now we have 7' tall shoots in ONE YEAR!!!

It is just important to know what it will be doing in the landscape once actively in it. I consider it an asset and with hand tools it can generate a ton of useful mulch if spreading into unwanted places, but until the next layer of succession really pushes up and over it to hold it back it can be a bear.

We use black locust as recommended in this video too, but in the second line of the garden alignment. The first line is its "warrior" cousin - honey locust tree (gladitsia triacanthos). It is the best defensing fortress against the unwanted visitors as well as windbreaking natural system. We love all locust trees. They are great allies in all respects.

You mentioned chop and drop for soil building. I've found that the branches take a long time to break down on the soil, making other chop and drop of weedy material difficult. So... I use much of my black locust small branch material as biochar feed. I make a cheap sheet metal kiln, and char it down. I then add it back to the soils I want to have high carbon content. But, I only put it on top of the soils. The worms do the rest. Thanks for the video.

My workaround for that is to lop everything up into short sections: twigs can be longer, then shorter and shorter with increasing diameter. I cut the material while on the tree bit by bit when possible so you don’t have to bend down or use one hand to hold it. When it’s too big for clippers, I either add it to a pathway border, cut it into firewood, or building or garden material. Everything that’s no good for that goes in brush piles in the shade (brush piles in fields here turn to brambles and you can’t mow).. Once the brush has sat a few years you can pull it apart, collect rotted wood duff/fungal innoculents, and re-pile what’s left. Yes I’m OCD when it comes to chopping and dropping, but I’ve found this system to be really efficient.

Two black locusts planted themselves in our orchard. We love them. We dig up the suckers and plant them out and about, the latest being along a fence line. We like the fact it has thorns, useful for keeping pests out, of the four- and two-legged kind . Regulations in our county allows for only 4 foot fence around our orchard. Our response is to plant thorny friends along the fence: black locust, honey locust, siberian pea shrub, climbing roses, and rugosa roses. We will keep them at just the right height to discourage the deer and other parts (mentioned above).

I’m deciding between planting some of these and the royal empress trees (or maybe a mix of both) I’m in zone 8 and the purpose would be to grow organic material quickly to keep up with growing need for mulch and material to rebuild my soil (old pine timber tract that was clear cut) . Woodchips aren’t as easy to get. And where I live people burn their leaves instead of bagging (it’s awful). so In a sense of becoming self sustaining and not relying on if.how to get organic material I’m looking to grow and source my own organic materials. I’m also planting white clover throughout my pathways to harvest as mulch and to use as material in the chicken coops, fodder for the chickens and many other benefits clover has.

Nice! I absolutely love black locust trees! There used to be a ton of these trees in my neighborhood but we’re all wiped out by our electric company because they were afraid that they would fall and cause damage to power lines due to the trees brittle wood... but anyways on my street we lost 11 very old pine trees for the same reason because they were all within striking distance of power lines so I went up and down the street knocking on peoples doors and asked them if they would like to have these pines replaced and I got approval from all of them to plant a tree on each of their properties! The species I have selected will be mainly black locust, cottonwood, silver maple and Jeffrey pine but I am most excited to plant the black locusts, the reason being is because they are gorgeous and so fast growing so the loss of the old pines will be ugly and sad for now the locusts will quickly make the area beautiful again! Also these trees will be planted as far away from the power lines as possible so that the trees won’t have to be topped or removed but close enough to the road that it’s created a canopy over the road since the power lines are only on the left side of the road

I have many large, black locust trees on my property. Many have fungus on them and are dying. I cut down about seven last week. I now understand the there is a pesticide that helps defeat the locust borer (carbaryl or seven). I am wondering, however, if it is too late to use the pesticide once the fungi appear on the tees. If it is not, I'd love to see a video on how to apply the pesticide. (I gather that it should be applied in August - September when the borer is active, so I missed out for this year.) I lost all my ash tree some years ago to the emerald ash borer, so it is really disappointing to see the locust tress now going.

The problem that bothers me is whether I will be able to build a house on the land if I cut down trees, of course I do not want to cut down all the trees, but I would certainly cut down most of the trees, now , is it possible they make a problem under the house if I build a house, the foundation will be of pillars, so they will have space under to start growing again. How can I avoid regrowth and is there a possibility that the whole terrain where the house would be could be plowed with a tractor,would that help me stop regrowth. I would not like to treat the soil with chemicals, since i'm planning to make a small garden in one part, although I do not know if I will be able to, since I saw that these trees does not allow a clean surface where it can be a garden. correct me if I'm wrong and give me some advice if you have.

Will continuing to keep cutting back the root suckers make the parent tree more healthy or do those suckers mean the parent tree is dying? Im new to this property that has two along the bordering the back yard leading into forest thats unfortunatelu being engulfed by tangled mass of japanese honeysuckle vines. I really need the high shade from the ones in the open space, but I'm afraid are dying bc the fallen branches are all over the place around the old trees (which I use to frame around the hydrangeas I planted). I'm hoping that's normal and normal that they seem to lose their leaves earlier than common trees. Wow I love the fence you made! Thanks for uploading!

They definitely lose their leaves early and leaf out late... That is normal... I'm not sure I can say that seeing suckers means the parent trees are dying. It generally more means there is disturbance happening in the soil or the context is changing. I think you can cut them out as needed, but ask for more opinions of course!

There are two kinds of Black Locust trees. The 1st one is the brown wood black locust tree whose wood decomposes easily into humus and fixes nitrogen and used to recover mined out areas and is a very short and shrubby and short lived tree. The 2sd one is the yellow wood black locust tree whose wood can last as long as a stone and is used as a permanent wood for permanent wooden structures and is a a tall straight tree which is why this yellow wood black locust is also called as "ship mast locust tree" for it is used for making ship masts and it's wood is highly and virtually resinous. The highly and virtually resinous yellow wood black locust tree is long lived and is a nitrogen-fixer.

@@judahjackson9506 (1) Robinia pseudoacacia var. rectissima The yellow locust is a tree, called "yellow" because the wood is a lighter. the tall, straight tree pressumed nonexistent in the Appalachian forest had, for generations, been alive and well in Long Island, New York, where it was called the "shipmast" locust, and had been planted, under the encouragement of the Soil Conservation Services, to reduce erosion and enrich the soil. This tree is called as THE TREE THAT LAST LIKE A STONE for it's wood won't rot, immune from insects. The reason why it is called shipmast locust is because it is aa straight as a shipmast used in ships before. The yellow locust is long-lived---borers do not trouble it---and the wood, used by mountain people as structural timber bridges and buildings as well as fenceposts, is virtually indestructible. It can only be reproduced by rooted cuttings and rarely by seeds. You can either go to Long Island, New York to ask for rooted cuttings or ask a forest ranger for information in your area on where you can acquire rooted cuttings of the yellow locust. The yellow locust wood is colored "YELLOW". (2) The ordinary black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is a tree that grows typically to forty or fifty feet in this region (and occasionally to seventy or eighty) - a smallish, gganrly-looking tree with wide, complex branching, beginning low on the trunk. It's forked branches make the tree subject to borers, and therefore the tree has a short life span of fifty to seventy-five years, and rots away rather quickly after being cut. It's wood is not commercially valuable. This tree is only useful as firewood and to reclaim mined out areas. The color of the ordinary black locust is "BROWN". The ordinary black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is a tree that grows typically to forty or fifty feet in this region (and occasionally to seventy or eighty) - a smallish, gganrly-looking tree with wide, complex branching, beginning low on the trunk. It's forked branches make the tree subject to borers, and therefore the tree has a short life span of didty to seventy-five years, and rots away rather quickly after being cut. It's wood is not commercially valuable. The yellow locust is an another matter entirely. This tree, called "yellow" because the wood is a lighter color than that of the black locust (which is brown), has the same sprays of compound leaves as the black, and the same leguminous seed pods, like the pods of field peas or fava beans. But there the similarities end. The yellow locust rises as tall and straight as the mast of a saling ship in the forest, it's branches not beginning on the stout trunk until fifty or sixty feet from the ground. It's crown is narrow, not broad like the black locust's, and at the top of the tree is at or above the canopy ---often at 150 feet ir higher, Also unlike the black locust, the yellow locust is long-lived---borers do not trouble it---and the wood, used by mountain people as structural timber bridges and buildings as well as fenceposts, is virtually indestructible. The mystery of the yellow locust as a tree distinct from the black aises not because the mountain people are confused, but because the yellow was more or less "lost" n the literature of academic botany for over forty years. It is perhaps no wonder that young botanists and foresters deny it's exstence. Recently, a smapling of this lost literature was collected by John Flynn, who, following up a vaque reference in Donald Culross Peattie's 1950 book A natural History of Treets, scoured the U.S. Department of Agriculture Library at Beltsville, Mryland (with the enthuasistic help of te librarian on duty), for early articles on the yellow locust. Reading through a packet of a half a dozen papers from the 1930s and 1940s, he found that the tall, straight tree pressumed nonexistent in the Appalachian forest had, for generations, been alive and well in Long Island, New York, where it was called the "shipmast" locust, and had been planted, under the encouragement of the Soil Conservation Services, to reduce erosion and enrich the soil. The tree was identified in 1936 as a separate botanical variety by Oran Raber (Robinia pseudoacacia var. rectissima).

Black locust has toxic seeds/legumes. Twelve inches sounds more like a Catalpa, which isn't in the bean family. Don't eat anything you can't positively identify (& verify to be edible & how to prepare it so that it is edible). I would buy or check out a guide to local trees and key it out based on flowers, leaves, bark, fruit, etc. Then you might be able to find culinary traits (or not) by checking with a forager's channel / book / website.

Is there any evidence for nitrogen fixing trees actually feeding their neighbors? I understand the idea behind it, just curious if it has actually been tested. I don't even need a scientific paper, a simple experience based type test would suffice. For example, someone noting more substantial growth in fruit trees inter planted with legume trees that are pruned regularly....absent of other factors for example. Ive read that it may not be so simple with legumes, they do make nitrogen, but only for themselves. You must rob them of the nitrogen in some way, like cutting and composting the green parts of say beans and letting it go back to the soil rather than harvesting the beans and removing the upper plant waste. Ive heard claims of the pruning action causing roots to die and release nitrogen, but this is also a bit counterintuative with what we see with coppice for example, the coppiced root just gets bigger and bigger and regrows faster each time, it does not seem to be killing roots when it is pruned each time??? Ive got access to lots of locust, both honey and black, and am considering adding them to the orchard, but I want to know it is actually worth the space, time and care. Thank you for your thoughts and time.
