It is currently spreading into states like Minnesota that are outside of its historical range. Black locust primarily invades disturbed habitats, degraded woods, thickets and old fields, where it crowds out native vegetation and forms single species stands.\nBlack locust is a fast growing tree that can reach up to 75 feet in height. It has with deeply furrowed bark with flat-topped ridges. Seedlings and root sprouts have long thorns and grow rapidly.\nContact Evanne for questions:  evanne.hunt@outlook.com or 715-381-1291 (landline; no texts)\n
