--00000000000033aef905870b6bac Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Curious if anyone knows much about how/when Black Locust came to be planted in Nova Scotia. Perhaps it came with the Loyalists following the Revolution for use on their homesteads? Or did it come more recently for sale in 20th century garden centers? It is an undeniably utilitarian plant - fast growing, hot burning, rot resistant hardwood, mega flowerer, animal fodder (?). It is also considered invasive by many, I believe planting is restricted in the NE US. All to say, im a little conflicted about planting this tree here. Just looking for opinions, to discuss this non native, naturalized to NS tree.
