[AT] OT weed trees was Knowing when to call it a day

[Carl Gogol]

Hawthorn's needles are also several inches long.  I have found tires with 6 or more ply rating to do well, so far leak free over perhaps a period of 6+ years.  4 ply rated tires without slime or some similar sealant have a half-life of about two months.  I was not unusual to be told that 30-40 thorns had penetrated to the tube.

For smaller tires that are prone to honey locust punctures, I've had good luck with Slime.

Her Locust have the nice 4” thorns that keep the tire shop in business and her John Deere on flats.
