Black Locust

Black Locust in Bloom

I recently saw a closeup of some blooms shaped like these.  I could not tell from the shot if it was a tree or what.  My first guess was that they were peas.  It turns out that they were on a tree.  I take it that it is similar to the Black Locust only from Scotland.

Just the other day, I noted that the Black Locust tree now has pea pods on it.  I found one open.

  We don't have very many of these trees at Gorman.  I know of only one location.  Sometimes, trail maintenance cuts them back because they stick out over the trail and have thorns on them.  I have noticed that they grow back.  I find them among the most beautiful of tree blooms.
