It grows to 10–25 metres tall, with grey-brown bark marked by deep vertical fissures. The petioles bear thorns; it has pinnate leaves with elliptical or ovate leaflets. Its white, fragrant flowers grow in racemes, blooming from April to June. This tree loves full sun and cannot withstand shade or cold weather. It features strong adaptability, thriving in dry environments and tolerating drought and infertile land, with no strict requirements on soil. Though its shallow yet well-developed root system makes it prone to windthrow, it boasts strong reproductive capacity and is an excellent tree for sand fixation and soil conservation. The timber is hard, rot-proof, wear-resistant and water-resistant, ideal for mine props, railway sleepers, vehicle timber, agricultural wood and fuelwood. Young leaves and flowers are edible. The leaves contain crude protein and can be used as fodder, while oil extracted from the seeds serves as raw material for soap and paint. Featuring a tall crown and bright green foliage, it presents an elegant fragrance during the flowering season, making it an ideal street tree and garden shade tree.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"SeedChoiceX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48666925891739,"sku":"UP-1863-choice","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/7909\/4939\/files\/3eae43054d2cf2077e2760c392eeae08.jpg?v=1780372684","url":"https:\/\/seedchoicex.com\/products\/black-locust-seeds-drought-tolerant-fast-growing-tree","provider":"SeedChoiceX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
