Topic: Bristly locust

	Species:
		Black locust is not an important commercial timber species in the United States, largely because of its poor growth form and frequent locust borer infestations [45].
		Black locust is planted on mine spoils to ameliorate poor soil conditions and to stabilize mine soils and/or badly eroded or gullied land [45,65,72].
		In contrast, Anderson and Brown [1] reported that fl locust invasion onto prairie and into fl oak woods was encouraged by fire; their study reflects the results of a single fire however, and may not be indicative of results with periodic fires.

		Black locust is easily established and grows rapidly; unfortunately, it is very competitive and should not be planted with crop trees in a commercial forest mix.
		Bristly locust is especially well adapted to very acidic sites and should be used to a greater extent where erosion control is especially important.
		Bristly locust is a prolific sprouter; a single plant will develop into a large clump in several years.

		In the Central States, growth of fl locust plantations was found to be closely correlated to plasticity, compactness, and structure of the subsoil, all of which influence drainage and aeration.
		Black locust is a mediumsized tree, generally 12 to 18 m (40 to 60 ft) in height and 30 to 76 cm (12 to 30 in) in diameter.
		Locust borer larvae construct feeding tunnels throughout the wood, and the holes serve as entry points for heart rot fungi that cause extensive wood decay.

		I hated the locust trees in the yard when I was a child, because I was a treeclimber, and you can't climb locust trees.
		Locust brances are much shorter, and aren't prone to break of their own weight, or during storms.
		One concern I have is that fl locust loggers in the West are not required to replant or practice responsible forestry because the tree is considered a non-native pest.

	Canada Gardens! - The Pink-Flowered Locust (Robinia x ambigua 'Idahoensis')
		Uncertain as its parentage may be, the tree certainly combines the tall habit of the fl locust and the vivid coloring of the bristly locust.
		Extensively used as a tough street tree in the dry localities of California and the American SouthWest, the Idaho Locust has not made the inroads it deserves in the Canadian nursery trade, perhaps of customer resistance to novelty, or because its northermost hardiness is not fully determined.
		May also be referred to as "Purple Robe Locust," there appears to be considerable confusion in the nursery trade regarding nomenclature.

	What's Turning Kentucky's Black Locusts Brown?
		If damage by the locust leafminer is extensive on this foliage in successive years, trees may die or at least be weakened to the point where they may be susceptible to other pests and diseases.
		The locust leafminer is found throughout the eastern United States and Canada.
		Most fl locusts are found in the wild or along roadsides and control measures for this pest are seldom used in this setting.

	Shrubs of Wisconsin: Robinia hispida, bristly locust
		Robinia hispida can be recognized by the compound alternate leaves and bristly stems with stronger paired thorns at the nodes.
		The similar Robinia pseudoacacia lacks the bristles on the branches and has broader-based, paired thorns at the nodes.
		In addition to the documented locations shown on the map, I have also seen it in Door and Marinette counties.

	Robinia hispida
		Rose locust (or rose acacia) is a showy-flowering, deciduous shrub which typically grows variably from 2-10' tall.
		In the wild, it can aggressively spread by suckering, but in cultivation, nurseries often graft it to the roots of R. pseudoacacia (fl locust) which results in a much less invasive plant.
		Branches, petioles, flower stalks and fruits are hispid (stiffly hairy) as the species name suggests, thus giving rise to another common name of bristly locust.

		The locust is also very aggressive and I don't see it as a valuable species for wildlife, though some people plant it for erosion control and for the fragrant blooms.
		If it is the seeds of the locust that you want, there are related native legumes such as leadplant, false indigo, and bristly locust (all in the same genus as fl locust) that produce similar seeds and are not likely to be invasive.
		The fl locusts were all removed as well as several thousand buckthorns and an assortment of other exotic invasive species of trees, shrubs, and terrestrials in favor of planting species recommended here by members from the GW Tree Forum.

		It is called bristly locust or Robinia hispida.
		The flowers of the bristly locust are reddish purple and have no fragrance.
		The bristly locust is considered a shrub and is valued more for its ability to form dense thickets and to help stabilize dry sandy soils.

		Many of the fl locusts in Kentucky are beginning to turn brown.
		Although fl locust trees are the preferred host, the leafminers feed on other plants such as false indigo, bristly locust, Japanese pagoda tree, and golden chain tree.
		Most fl locusts are found in the wild or along roadsides.

		PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: Black locust is an open tree that can reach a height of 25 m; stipules: modified into two opposing spines 1 cm long flankingthe base of the petiole; leaves: odd pinnately compound; leaflets: up to 9 pairs, elliptic to ovate-obtuse, 2-4 cm; inflorescence: a raceme, dense, drooping, many-flowered, 20 cm long; flowers: white.
		Both species have pink flowers and seed pods with stiff spreading hairs, The honey locust, G]editsia triacanthos L., a tall tree with branched thorns, has more narrow (oblonglanceolate) leaflets that are obscurely crenate.
		Honey locust seed pulp is considered to be a pleasant tasting, sweet nibble but should not be confused with the poisonous pulp of Kentucky coffeetree (see Gymnociadus).

		In early June, bristly locust (Robinia hispida) puts out clusters of large, pea-like, rose-colored blossoms.
		Also called rose-acacia, these shrubs and small trees have escaped from cultivation.
		Locusts are legumes, a group of plants that enrich the soil with nitrogen through the activities of bacteria harbored in their root nodules.

	Recommendation for Tree Planting on Surface Mined Lands
		Black locust was the most extensively studied and successful species (see author for list of references).
		A few tree species have shown good establishment with hydroseeding (fl locust, bristly locust, fl alder, autumn olive, redbud, etc.).
		Black locust seeding rates should range from one-half to one pound per acre.

	Our Land, Our Literature: Environment - Erosion
		In southern Indiana, trees like Virginia pine, shortleaf pine, and bristly locust were typically used.
		Chosen because they readily adapted to hot, dry, eroded areas, these trees provided a block against the wind and water and stabilized the soil.
		Today, more common species used to stop erosion include Virginia pine (in both southern and northern parts of the state), red and white pines, fl locust, and red cedar.
