Honey Locust Sappling


On one of my lunch hikes I came across this Honey locust sapling. For some reason I have not been seeing this tree in its young stage. I usually find mature Honey locust in a forest with a lot of vines growing around it. Mature bark curls on the side edges.


The trademark thorns make it easy to ID.


Honey locust / Gleditsia triacanthos

The wood is durable, hard and good for shock resistance.


Nehemiah 4:9
"But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night."
