TRUNK OF HONEY LOCUST WITH THORNS. 
The honey locust has few insect pests and no serious disease to contend with. It 
is by no means a slow growing tree, if reasonable care is used in the planting and 
subsequent treatment. 
The honey locust makes an excellent screen, where planted closely, and 
is used in places for a hedge, but does not thicken up sufficiently to make an 
effective protection against hogs. 
The ease with which it is grown, hardiness, rapid maturity, and general 
value of the timber should commend the honey locust for extensive forest planting.
