Hello All,
I could not figure out the discussion on Black Locust so I looked it up and
found;
U.S. National Park Service
http://www.nps.gov/hocu/html/trees.html
"Black Locust (Robinia pseudo-acacia)
Warning! All parts of this plant (roots, bark, leaves and seeds) are
poisonous.
Medicinal uses: The root bark has been chewed to induce vomiting or held in
the mouth for a
toothache. Historically, a flower tea was used as a folk tonic (purgative)."
Are there those out there who eat the flower or pod?
Later,
Tom
