Which one has the spikes that'll rip your arm off

Shagbark? Hate cutting that *s-word...but it's good firewood and a interesting looking tree

 

[jmssaws]

Loggers here walk past hickory unless they need it bad nobody will cut them.

Ah the irony of the farmers hating the black locust now. That tree has been spread across the country/world because of it makes such a good fence post due to its rot resistance. Burns so good. That and the hickory which also makes things taste so good from the smoker, makes great tool handles, and beautiful woodwork with character. Love the hickory floor I put in my friend's house.

Don't see many around here, black locust is everywhere though.

Locust have the yellowish meaty center? Straight grained?

I always thought black locust was the thorn covered one because it's black and the honey locust is yellow but thats wrong as crazy as it seems.
The black colored thorn tree is a honey locust and the yellow tree with few thorns is a black locust.
Makes sense right

The locust I just cut had yellowish center, straight grained. Branches had small thorns. About 1/4 to 1/2" max. Hard, but yellow center core.
At least I think it is locust, but not 100% sure.

 

[Rob Stafari]

Sure sounds like locust to me.

I know black locust have bi pinnate leaves and white flowers that look like wisteria/pea flowers in spring. I think honey locusts have different flowers and bigger seedpods and bigger nastier thorns than black locust. The bark is different too.

Perfect sense indeed... just like the Greenland/Iceland conundrum.

So the yellowish small thorns locust is black locust?
