Black Locust

Need a tree that can grow in dry terrible soil? Plant a black locust.

Want something that grows six feet a year in decent soil? Try a black locust.

Want a nitrogen fixing legume that can feed your goats? Black locust will fill the bill. 

Want great firewood that will burn as hot as anthracite? That's black locust.

Need a completely natural fence post that will last for fifty years? 

You need black locust. 

Want a gorgeous flower display that fills the air with fragrance, attracts swarms of bees and makes a sweet light honey? 

That'd be black locust. 

Do you need a tree that doesn't send up runners and doesn't have thorns? 

I'm so sorry, you cannot plant black locust. 

But if you can deal with a little wildness around the edges, black locust is your tree. 

That's all.
