The long branched thorns on honey locust are a curse to anyone working in the woods. They are notorious for causing flat tires, and can also cause serious injuries and infections. Loggers hate them, even thought the wood is pretty, because bucking and moving the logs is dangerous, and a flat tire on a skidder ceases production, and causes expense. Be careful when working around these pests, and especially, keep your safety glasses on!
Nature's Barbed Wire. The only safe way (my uncle taught me) to deal with them is a blow torch after they dry out; long, arduous process but safer than dealing with puncture wounds.
