Imma let you finish, but black locust is the best tree of all time
>Forms the entirety of Hungary's profitable honey crop due to early season nectar flow. Totally bro with the bees. Makes a perfectly clear honey
>Breaks the rules -- grows extremely fast and is also the densest, hardest wood among any north american native trees. Better than hickory for tool handles
>Burns extremely hot & slow, is on part with some ratings of coal. Will void your warranty if burned in the wrong woodstove
>Fixes nitrogen as a TREE, is bros with the understory. Great for silvopasture
>During peak season in the summer, leaves & new growth have protein rating as high as prime alfalfa. Another great reason for silvopasture, coppicing, pollarding
>Recent woody growth (not 1st year green) has thornbros to keep bastard deer out with big hedges. Older growth they just fall off
>Hail Hydra. Cut them back and they grow back with greater speed with more shoots
The only drawback is the bug that drills the trunk, and they also must have full sun for maximum chad growth. If they lived past 30 without infestation, it would be the #1 timber crop everywhere in the states. I'm trying a dry setup in the high desert so hopefully im far away from that bug, it can't live here.
I'm adding it to my partial shade garden to feed my bees early in the season & fertilize my shit up. Also making a coppice hedge for firewood. Get on my level birchanon
