Bill, I have read about using the pods produced by
honey locust trees as cattle forage, particularly where the honey locusts are in
a savannah style pasture.
I have a creek on my farm that's full of honey
locust. They have thorns. Big thorns. I understood that it's
the black locust that is used for posts and that honey locusts (with thorns, not
the ornamental honey locust) would not last in the ground.
If anyone knows info to the contrary I would be
interested in how well honey locust would hold up to fence post
use.
