Good for erosion control in barren areas disturbed by mining, etc. Also makes good walking canes!

Is anyone on Permies growing the Shipmast strain of black locust?  Supposedly better/straighter timber and greater disease resistance and nearly totally sterile seed or low seed production.(I am finding conflicting info on this one but either way doesn't spread by seed)  It still suckers but doesn't spread from seed.  

Is there a Shipmast strain that is also thornless?(just dreaming or wishful thinking)
 
I can't take it! You are too smart for me! Here is the tiny ad:
