Re: [nafex] Honey Locust

The ones I have tasted must have fermented; they tasted sweet, but not
very good. I am open to another try though.

Did you pick up pods that had fallen, or did you pick from the tree?

be possible to run the pods through a set of rollers to extract the goop
and perhaps obtain it in quantity. I understand they are dioecious. Does
anyone know if seedless pods with goop are possible from pistillate
trees, or would some kind of sterile polyploid perhaps be required? I
see there is an interest group for honey locust.
Consider me interested.

Re: [nafex] Honey Locust

Devin,

Don't know if you have visited the Honey Locust Agroforestry website but it does have some good info. I have spoken to Andy Wilson in the past and he sounds pretty knowledgeable but the website and honey locusts may be a passing interest for him. However the info they have online is actually pretty good. This link may help answer your question about honey locust pollination.
