Title: Re: [NAFEX] black locust: Hungary,honey
 
> I don't know this story. How did black locust save Hungary?

The country was largely deforested, when a Hungarian noble introduced the
tree (from France I believe) prior to 1800. Now it is the basis of the honey
crop there,

Honey from Black Locust is a premium honey, fairly rare and hard to produce. It has a very light color and a mild mild flavor. I extracted 50 to 60 lbs. one year and sold it at a premium price. It is ideal to compliment a fine tea.

The blossoms are subject to damage by wind, rain and cold temperature.
