Honey locust
Gleditsia triacanthos
41.878, -93.0977
Field Notes
Description:
A deciduous tree whose most impressive features, especially in winter, are the large and numerous spines emanating from the trunk and branches.
Habitat:
Here in Iowa, mainly found in wetter areas, like along creeks or river-courses.
Notes:
A quick search reveals that these spines were hard and sharp enough to use as nails in softer woods. They certainly looked dangerous.
