Many people on YouTube, including some nursery owners (who should know better!), cannot tell the difference between a toxic Black Locust pod and an edible Honey Locust pod.

Just a quick look, in the garden, today, at the difference between Black Locust pods and Honey Locust pods. You can see that the Black Locust pods are only tiny in comparison to the giant (brown-coloured) Honey Locust pods. There is also a leaf difference, too. The Gleditsias have smaller leaves and the Robineas have larger leaves.
