Black locusts are one of a few tree species I’ve been casually trying to get my hands on for a few years now for our farm as they are a quintessential permaculture / silvopasture species. Well I finally got my hands on some roots to take cuttings from. Follow along to see how we handle propagation!
Here are a few links to things I mention in the video:

Congratulations on your finds, Kaleb! Your excitement for these new members of the homestead is very evident. Have a great day!

Thank you Larry! I’ve got 2 other really cool additions I’ll update on very soon also! You have a great day as well!

Nice video! Just one point I’d mention, there are “thornless” honey locust varieties. They will tend to still have some small thorns for the first few years of growth, but lose them as they get larger, similar to black locust. I have some thornless honey locust on my property, in addition to black, and they get quite a bit larger than black locust, at least in my area, but I still prefer working with the black, as they grow faster and straighter, are more rot resistant, and have higher btu’s for firewood.

Yup! I have planted tons of thornless honey locusts over the years! And I love both the thornless and thorned for different uses, but the caveat to thornless honey locusts is that the genes for thorns can be “turned on” by damage to the tree. I notice this in thornless seedling ones that I wind up deciding to coppice/pollard, or in ones that pigs, goats, or rodents have decided to do so for me 🤣. The regrowth seems to have thorns just like a normal thorned one from that first cut onward.

Moonshiner's used it for their fires because of the lack of smoke . Hence they didn't get caught from the smell of smoke. Just some trivia for ya🤪

Oh dang that’s really cool, I didn’t know that! If all goes well, in 10 years I’ll be cutting it regularly on rotation for firewood so I’ll be able to update ya on if my chimney is smoke free or not 😂.
