Black Locust is supposed to have a high rate of vegetative reproduction. Looks like I can definitely confirm that. The tree was toppled this spring, and I hauled the logs away over 4th of July weekend.

My Black Locust logs are growing ears!

I had the same type of growth on logs I harvested in December. I know they should be split and stacked by now but just to busy with the rest of the rounds. At least I do not have to worry about BL rotting.

I think I'll have to install a bell on the tractor or something. Picking up wood I'll hit it and yell, "bring out your dead!"
