Honey locust. Thornless.
Yes I figured this out out. These things are every freaking where in my year and there are at least 20 growing under my bench.

Are they any good to work with. This is one I'm trying to find out now. IMG_20160815_173059254.jpg IMG_20160815_173055627.jpg

Don't get fuled buy the ivy wrapped around it. Theres also this oak that is a seeding from a bigger one.

Are these oaks usable. IMG_20160813_092207123.jpg

And last one found this at my local nursery. Trunk looked cool and it says fruiting. IMG_20160813_165531102.jpg IMG_20160813_165511960.jpg

I have a purple robe locust I've been playing with for a year, I also have a native new Mexico locust in the ground to thicken up, it's close to 2 inches now.

The second pic is a mulberry which I also like to use. The oak looks to have small leaves so it should be usable, and the fruiting tree you got there is a cherry!

Okay well I learned a big lesson.

If you have a garden, with what I think to be a run off area. Aka a bunch of rocks for water guide water out of the yard.

Well so someone (past owner) ether planted or let tree's get over grown.

The trees cluster of 3 were intertwined and grown over and into 3 rock. Made it hell to remove.

Okay so here it is.

If you have a grow out and don't want a ror clear the garden.

If you want easy access to dig the trees up years later. Plant them ether on something or make sure you cut downward facing roots. Or place the tree / seedling on a board or in some way just make the roots flat before planting.

Tap roots / downward facing roots can fight you like hell.

No this is why I say that.

Okay well I'll try photos later they won't load.
