Along with eating the pods they also swallow the seeds. As they move around they “poop” out the seeds in new areas, many times miles from where they ate them. Locust trees grow easily with the “extra” fertilizer and Honey locust become established everywhere. They have thorns up to 12” long and can make your property unusable to wheeled vehicles. They can be very dangerous to people and animals also getting these sharp thorns in your body especially your feet. Another reason not to allow deer on your property. Unfortunately Honey Locust, Hawthorn and Hedge (osage orange) all thrive in over populations of deer area due to there thorns, and deer unable to browse them. See right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d62c2daeee4590001efc921/1566831051554-LOZHV84F6ZXCVO7QOS0F/12+year+old+oak.jpg Deer habits and damage Oak tree severely browsed by deer, I planted this tree 12 years ago, (it should be 25 ft tall).
