message: Who is going around taking out the English system in all these entries?  You Euros have your Metric system and we Americans use the English system.  I rather suspect the English do as well.  52 meters?  I have no idea what that is.  --68.118.188.188 (talk) 18:25, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Hello.  These things grow like wildfire in my yard and are a real pest.  You cut down the main trunk and it sprouts back everywhere in a few weeks and continues to do so for years.  The seedlings seem to know when their mother tree has been damaged and sprout immediately!  Also they root sucker and like to grow against my foundation.  Anyway, to the point, I was pulling out seedlings and decided to taste one (all parts of the adult tree taste horrible) and I was very surprised to find that it had the pleasant flavor of peas.  At the time I wasn't aware of the toxicity.  I ate quite a bit and didn't get sick.  I'm not dead yet.  So there could be a possibility that the young plants don't contain the toxin, much like the young sprouts of Pokeweed.  I don't think I'm going to eat anymore though.  Anyway, I'll try to find out what the toxin is and the effects it is supposed to have. 63.235.200.98 21:54, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

message: As far as I'm concerned the flowers are edible. As kids we ate them a lot and they are quite tasty. Still, this should be checked by some authority on the matter.
I've also eaten flowers (together with green parts of inflorescence) in small quantity and never had any issues. Flowers are sweet (especially those that are about to open) because of much nectar.Nemohuman (talk) 21:29, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

message: What is the point of using 4 significant digits for properties of wood? -
: Sp. gr., 0.7333; weight of cu. ft., 45.70 lbs

replies: text: I agree.  Should we also presume that the weight of a cubic foot is for green wood or seasoned?  It might be good to see a comparison with other trees native to the areas where it is found in the SE US, e.g., the wood density is somewhat greater than magnolia or black walnut, but a little less than red oak or pecan.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.226.124.63 (talk) 18:59, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

message: These two claims seems to be contradictory:
"R. pseudoacacia is considered an excellent plant for growing in highly disturbed areas as an erosion control plant" and "Black locust does not do well on [...] eroded soils"
I don't know which is true.
