Awesome! Of course, the thorns don't deter squirrels. They like to steal the seed pods, which reportedly taste like vanilla. Squirrel candy!

I knew they'd found mastodon teeth on Long Island before, but I guess I always figured our honey locusts, like so many other street trees, were an import. Thanks for the post, I <3 Krulwich.
