Black Locust is valued for its vigorous growth, toughness, and ability to perform in challenging conditions. It has also been used for erosion control and is known for producing durable wood. In late spring to early summer, mature trees can produce fragrant clusters of flowers that are attractive to pollinators.

From November through April, plants are shipped in their natural dormant state and may arrive without leaves. Dormant plants may have visible buds ready for spring growth. In warmer regions, plants may begin producing new growth soon after planting as temperatures and daylight increase.
