Establishing black locust.

[CBreak]

Dave, I live in NW. Ct., not to far from you.In Ct. it is considered an invasive species.If in the future it were not monitored,and or managed, it could easily
spread and out compete native species. One thing that should be considered.
I had thought about doing the same thing here worry about the threat of it
spreading. With the prevailing wind at the site I had available,it would spread to
the far corner of my neighbor's land. It would be years before it would noticed.
Because of that I have not established my own  fence post plantation.If I was
sure I was going to live forever, or could clone myself, I would have done it years ago.              Some thing to think about,  CB

The area I want to do this in is bound on all sides by fields. It won't go far. I'd rather have locust invading and be useful, than cottonweeds that have no use to anybody for any reason.

May as well replace the ash around here with something useful.

FYI black walnut and cherry both will do well mixed in with black locust. The competition keeps them from getting limby, but the shade is light enough to keep them healthy and going up. ;D 8) 8) 8)
