permaculture

["Lawrence F. London, Jr." <lflj@bellsouth.net>]

Hello folks,

Any of you that are considering planting honeylocust trees to enhance

nutritional quality of pods

(as compared to wild or landscaping cultivars which have been selected
for appearance of foliage and minimal pod production).

"Millwood" is the name of one improved cultivar.
