Honeylocust is a native tree with a prickly reputation; its branches bear sharp, reddish-brown thorns and the trunk may be so armored--sometimes, to our chagrin, at hip-height. Ouch!
In nature these trees are found along stream banks; because of this it is tolerant of flooding and poorly aerated soils. Despite the name the tree is not a source of honey, but the seed pods do have a sweet taste and can be fermented to make beer.
Honeylocust's chief timber use is for fence posts and railroad ties because of its strength and innate ability to resist decay. It is also used for furniture production, interior finish, turnery and rough construction and is considered an ornamental tree. Honeylocust is sturdy and "wind firm" and generally free from disease. It also transplants well.
The cache is located just off the new section of Corridor H close to the Scenic Overlook parking lot.
The container is a small 3" round by 1.5" deep lock n lock. Be mindful of the surrounding thorns! BYO Pen or Pencil.
Good Luck!
