Both the male and female black locust have thorns. A pair of short, stout thorns grow at each node on a limb. The male black locust trees are seedless.
Trees that have spiny seed pods include the honey locust, sweetgum, and black locust.
Berries from the locust tree may be the sweet edible pods of the honey locust trees. Another type of locust tree is the black locust tree which is highly toxic but good for making honey.
Some trees that have thorns include honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), and hawthorn (Crataegus spp.). Thorns help protect the tree from herbivores and other threats.
This depends on your location. In the US, the primary enemy of black locust trees is a boring beetle, the locust borer. Nearly all locusts everywhere are affected by it and it kills most locust trees before they can become very large. This beetle is the main reason why US black locust, a high quality hardwood, cannot be used for furniture, as the beetle ruins most black locust wood before it is big enough to use for furniture. If you cut down an affected tree but leave the root system intact, you will probably get several more trees growing up from it.
No, honey locust leaves do not burn as well as a black locust leaf. This is because they have different chemicals inside the leaf that are not as combustible.

Locust trees are incredibly invasive and are easily transplanted. To successfully transplant a locust tree all you need is an off shoot or seedling. Locusts thrive amidst lots of sunlight so plant them accordingly.
