Black locust is what you want for fence posts. They will last 30 years.................honey locust only about 10-12 years.
Both have thorns, tho the thorns look different.

Yeah, we have black locus here as well which is what I had cut down a couple years ago for the posts I've been using for my fencing. Still have about 50 posts left stacked up waiting for myself to get started on the back pasture fencing again.
The black locus does have thorns and like any thorns they hurt but the are much much smaller which actually make them a bit harder to see.

I need to go back and find the posts where @greybeard said how to kill those things. I'm tired of plugging then replacing tires.

Hopefully they aren't as invasive as black locus. Have you had to plug tractor tires or just mower tires?

I avoid the areas where those trees are with the tractor and try to with the mower but obviously not far enough away.
