Hello Everyone,

Is anyone growing varieties of honey locust that have been improved for pod production, such as Milwood or Calhoun? I know such varieties exist, but they don't seem to be common.

I am looking for some of those varieties. It is hard to find. Have you had any success?

I've also been trying to get my hands on these. Like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Anybody who owns one could make a killing propagating them for sale. Or some easy side cash selling scionwood

When it is used for evil, then watch out! When it is used for good, then things are much nicer. Like this tiny ad:
