I Was Warned Not to Plant This Tree. Here’s Why I Did Anyway (Purple Robe Locust)

Purple Robe Locust (Robinia sp) is a gorgeous nitrogen fixing tree. When I talked about planting it, I got lots of folks trying to talk me out of it - for good reason! This tree gets BIG quickly, and suckers wherever you damage the roots. HOWEVER, when properly managed and understood, this tree has a place in an early permaculture garden. It’s a nitrogen fixer, improves soil, can be coppiced for chop n drop, shades young trees while they establish, produces hard rot-resistant wood, its edible flowers are excellent bumblebee food.
