The Black Locust tree originates from eastern North America. It has been
planted in Australia as an ornamental tree particularly around farmhouses
but does not exist in sufficient quantities to support a honey flow. The
old trees are known for developing suckers around the base which must be cut
out annually. I have bought a grafted one from a nursery for my yard but
did not observe bees working the flowers and am worried that the nursery has
produced a variety which is not attractive to bees.

Sugar Gum (Eucalyptus Cladocalyx) is also non-crystallizing for a very long
time. The three eucalypts that produce non-crystallizing honey are also all
pollen-deficient.
