are all members of the locust invasive? I recently bought one at a
local garden shop, but now am wondering if should cut my loses and
ditch this tree.

I have both honey locust and black locust trees in the woodland area of my
property. While I get the occasional sapling volunteering in my beds, it
isn't a big problem. The saplings have thorns, so you have to be careful
removing them, you can't just grab and pull. A tree that has become
invasive for me is the Paw Paw. It sends up suckers every few feet. It you
don't keep on top of it, you quickly develop a thickets of small trees.
