[AT] Honey Locust

[Brian VanDragt]

Sounds like the Autumn Olive that I have here in southwest Michigan. 40 years ago my grandpa planted a row of them at his house for decoration. Now it is my house and they are getting out of control faster than I can keep them trimmed.Brian

The thorns will tear you to shreds. I have asurprise for them this year, I bought a Stihl with one of those circularsaw blades on it. I have a lot to clear though.Mike MOn 11/18/2019 4:17 PM, STEVE ALLEN wrote:> 4 inch thorns on your Locusts?  Ha!  Pikers!  I've measured thorns in excess of 10 inches on our place.
