Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

I have some pods and plan to start one or more of these trees. I look forward to tasting the honey-flavored unripe pods...and look how the plant protects itself from diners like me LOL #wickedspines #midwesternnative

I have some in my back pastures, didn't know you could eat/taste the pods. Unripe you say, meaning right after they first start forming?

Yes @lesliecole49 -- before they turn into hard, brown baby rattles
