The black locust trees are in bloom and they are absolutely magnificent. The air around them smells sweet and it’s worth extra effort to smell the flowers up close.

Black Locust

Richmond, Virginia (USA)

Based on a photo from August 5, 2023.

Black Locust trees (Robinia pseudoacacia) are one of our native trees within the eastern U.S. The branches grow in a beautiful spray, with newer branches in a different shade of green from other branches on the tree. The visual effect is worth stopping to appreciate.

Fave type of tree?

well if ure expecting an answer like "oh i like oak trees" then id say my fave species to encounter on a day by day basis would be Robinia pseudoacacia!! the leaves are SO SO soft!!!!! and i do love me a nice Bean Flower :3c

but if i take ur question literally then id say any tree that can perform C4 photosynthesis :333 theres literally only like 3 or so species in the WHOLE WORLD that can do that!!! like C4 photosynthesis is just THAT rare in trees!!! iirc theyre all in Hawaii

and theyre all Euphorbias of course heheh 😌😌 which is how i know of them

Locust Borer Beetle (Megacyllene robiniae)

Distribution: Originally found only in the northeastern USA, but now found throughout the USA and southern Canada.

Habitat: Usually found in areas where the black locust tree Robinia pseudoacacia is present, especially where goldenrod can also be found; usually uncultivated fields and meadows.

Diet: Larvae feed on woody tissues of the black locust tree; adults feed on the pollen of goldenrod flowers.

Description: The locust borer beetle is a serious pest of black locust trees, singlehandedly destroying the value of what is otherwise an extremely valuable timber tree. Female beetles lay their eggs near wounds or in crevices, where newly-hatched larvae will overwinter. In the spring, they bore into the tree bark, forming tunnels 10 centimetres long and 0,7 centimetres wide. These tunnels serve as an infection site for fungi, which can infect the trees and render them stunted and diseased. Trees suffering from drought and those growing in open areas, like roadsides, or in eroded or nutrient-deficient soil are especially vulnerable to attack. This species isn't known to feed on any other tree species.
