my best pear tree was living nearby to a mature locust tree which indicates
that the locust must have supplied the pear with some nitrogen fertilizer.


I keep cutting the limbs of a locust except for high limbs and the locust
emits some fluid. So the locust does emit fluids and whether it has a fluid
similar to the juglone fluid of blackwalnut is something to be researched.
Whether locusts emit a herbicide-like fluid needs be researched.

Has anyone compared the nitrogen fixing of locust with other legumes
in respect to amount of fertilizer they can contribute to the soil?
