Black Locust trees are prized for their many uses. Their hard wood is used for fence posts, furniture, and tool handles. The flowers are a source of nectar for bees and butterflies, and the leaves are eaten by deer and other wildlife. The bark has been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments.
