As to the discussion of black locust as fence posts, I too have found them quite
rot-resistant. A problem I've seen (with some locusts) is that they are
invasive. As a teenager, I spent 2 whole summers digging locust suckers out of a
neighbors yard. Once you cut down the main tree the roots send up
(thorny!)suckers all over the place. (I shouldn't complain though..it gave me
steady employment for quite a while.)
Just somehting to consider. I forget if the offending tree was a honey locust or
black locust. Has anyone else encountered this?
Hope everyone is having a good summer
