Honey Locust

A few days later after the visit of the Honey locust in yesterdays post I went back to observe this tree more closely. Notice the bark curls from the side. This is a common characteristic of Honey locusts.

Here is the base of the tree and it seems to me that in earlier days this was 2 trees growing side by side.

Here is new thorn growth. There is no stiffness to these thorns yet.
