Question From: B. Dilley - ILLINOIS
Q: Is there a way to get my locust tree to stop producing the pea pods? The trees are 25 years old and new produced pods till the last 12 years or so.
A:
Your tree is a female and those pea pods contain seeds that allow the specie for reproduce. Spraying the tree with a hormone at the proper time will prevent the tree from producing seeds. Contact a certified arborist for more information and costs. The product not available for use by homeowners. If you buy a another tree make sure it's a male. Best and Happy Yardening, Nancy.
