Is black locust wood safe to use near vegetables?
Comments (7)And from purdue.edu: Occasional cases of poisoning are on record in which boys have chewed the bark and swallowed the juice: the principal symptoms being dryness of the throat, burning pain in the abdomen, dilation of the pupils, vertigo, and muscular twitches; excessive quantities causing also weak and irregular heart action (Grieve, 1931). So don't allow boys to chew on the wooden frames of your beds. Oh, and elsewhere the seed pods were reported to cause anorexia in horses....See MoreHAVE: Shagbark Hickory nuts,Black Walnuts,Oak-acorns
Comments (3)Do you also have any self-seeded hickory trees? The squirrels are always planting black walnuts here. I would love the nuts, anyway. My trade list disappeared and I'm slowly replacing it, but it's not finished. Take a look and let me know. Phyllis...See MoreHAVE: oak, black cherry, walnut, virginia creeper, catnip
Comments (0)We have the following: oak seedlings and small trees, black cherry seedlings up to 20' trees, walnut seedlings, Viginia creeper. Trees are "dig your own." We also have: catnip plants, wild blackberry, and the dreaded English Ivy. [30 year old English Ivy plugs are great for Bonsai] Also, we have a HUGE pond. A big stand of cattails. Lots of Iris (standard purple flowers) A previous owner stocked the pond with bass. We are vegitarians, and are not going to eat them ourselves. But there are too many for the size of our pond, and they are terrorizing our other fish. A local kid fished out out a 10" bass and a 15.5" "dinner". We are looking for: native plants for sun, shade or water. Daylillies. Hosta. May apple. Jack-in-the pulpit. Monarda. Native shrubs: blueberry, rhodadendron, azalia, mountain laurel, etc. We are south of York, PA. 1 hour from Baltimore. 2 hrs from Washington, DC. If interested, drop me an email with your phone number please....See MoreWalnut / Black Walnut Trees
Comments (63)Maureen, I would recommend contacting your extension agent or local forester for more information on who you might contact for potential removal/purchasing. Trees grown in yard or farmstead settings - unless carefully managed - will likely not attract a great deal of attention from timber buyers due to potential for old nails, wire, etc that may exist under in the tree. I'm in west central WI and had 4 20"+ Black Walnuts we needed to remove last year and we couldn't give away the trees (the trees were farmstead trees/woodland bordering trees). A local timber buyer had zero interest - even in just giving them away - nor did anyone want them for wood burning. We did end up giving some chunks of the logs away to friends though who wanted some for woodworking. While I like Black Walnuts in general, I do not like them in a yard setting as a selection of other plants are not tolerant of the junglone (basically a natural herbicide of the BW) produced from the seeds, roots, and leaves. Good luck!...See Moremulberryknob
