We have a beautiful, old #HoneyLocust tree which shades our yard wonderfully, but there's a catch: it grows hard, long, viciously sharp spikes on its trunk and branches.
Today while weeding I whacked my head into one of them hard enough to bleed, and a few minutes later whacked my hand into another, causing 3mm of the tip to break off INSIDE MY KNUCKLE.
I was eventually able to remove it with tweezers, but omg was that unpleasant.

Not sure if this is a #honeylocust or even a #brazillianferntree but there are quite a few around #melbourne #Australia throughout the suburbs.

This one was growing in #Ripponlea.

The two toned leaf colour is spectacular and has been displaying like this for around 6 weeks now.

The new growth presents as a light greeny/yellow - almost fluorescent when the sun is shining.

The lighter leaves turn the darker green slowly, as we’re seeing on most now. So this one must have been a late bloomer.

Gorgeous. 🍃

I believe this is a #honeylocust tree.

It is mostly found in the moist soil of river valleys of #NorthAmerica. Honey locust is highly adaptable to different environments, has been introduced worldwide, although it can be an aggressive, invasive species outside of its native setting.

#BoxHill #victoria #Australia is home to many, I’ve seen them in heaps of roundabout intersections. I’ve observed this tree over a month now, and it displays different shades of yellows, greens and burnt-orange, depending on the light and time of the day.

Sometimes it even appears fluorescent.

They can reach a height of 20–30 m (65–100 ft). They exhibit fast growth and live a life span of about 120 years, apparently.

It’s a beauty!
