Black Locust or Robina is a deciduous tree in the legume family, growing up to 20m. It is native to southern United States and is widely spread around the world. Robinia is a great forest gardens plant as we could harvest several crops – early flowers for bees, ground durable posts, it coppices so can harvest posts every several years and is nitrogen fixing, and poultry love the seed. You can keep it the height you want it by coppicing regularly. Seed drops in February, March, or April.
