Devin,
Don't know if you have visited the Honey Locust Agroforestry website but it
does have some good info. I have spoken to Andy Wilson in the past and he
sounds pretty knowledgeable but the website and honey locusts may be a
passing interest for him. However the info they have online is actually
pretty good. This link may help answer your question about honey locust
pollination.

Subject: [nafex] Honey Locust
I just had my first real taste of honey locust pod goop and am absolutely
hooked. I'd never really thought much of the assertion that the pods were
"edible", knowing only that it was a lot of work to eat them and that the
stuff inside was kind of sweet. No one ever told me it tasted like tropical
taffy! I've since tried lots of different ways of getting out the pulp, no of
them totally satisfactory. Anyone know the best way to get the goop out? Its
hard to believe so little breeding work has been done to improve these. It
would be great if there was a seedless pod variety that produced lots of
goop. Then it would perhaps be possible to run the pods through a set of
rollers to extract the goop and perhaps obtain it in quantity. I understand
they are dioecious. Does anyone know if seedless pods with goop are possible
from pistillate trees, or would some kind of sterile polyploid perhaps be
required? I see there is an interest group for honey locust.
Consider me interested.
