I have a lot of volunteer honey locust trees on my land that are super dangerous with 3" razor sharp spines...don't want to walk on a downed branch in deep grass or take a turn too sharply on the atv - it would take out an eye in a snap.

I haven't felled any locusts on my land yet, as I was told they will shoot up literally dozens of new trees unless one uses diesel fuel to kill the tree. I'm not really into applying petroleum on my native prairie so thought I'd leave them be until they really cause a problem.

However, the mixed hardwood cords I've bought in the past contain Locust - it's easy to identify and super dense. Looks like it wasn't easy to split [rather twisted and fibrous] but I don't have any experience splitting it personally. I do know it burns very long, clean, and hot...my favorite wood to burn.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
