I have one growing in the corner of my property here in the northeast

Dallas
area. Someone told me it was a black locust. Has thorns all over it.
about 30 ft tall.

Not a tree you want to cultivate in my opinion.

We may be in zone 9 here (Corpus Christi), and I see that this species

is
hardy in zone 4-8. Does this mean it gets too hot here for the tree to

do
well?
