This is a tree that is so rot proof it is used for fence posts because they don't need to be treated to last over 20 years.
Honey locust is a whole different animal in the related tree world.

I have been wondering about this. I have a black locust I've been growing in a pot for a while and want to give it a home, either in my back yard or a nearby field I have access to some area to create an orchard on. The field seems more suitable for this farm-handy tree, but I hear it can be a bane to farmers as much as a boost.
Personally I have seen it used in restoration because of its capacity to spread, but I have not seen it spread unwanted much. I've seen it behave well without tons of root suckers or volunteers in a forest garden, but maybe that's because the space around it was all occupied by other vegetation already or pavement? Any tips for keeping black locust under control / avoid problems with it while enjoying its numerous benefits?

Yes, of course, and I accept that blame. In fact, i covet that blame. As does this tiny ad:
