Honey locust. I see lots of them in Kansas. Some of the best cat trapping I have had was in and around those trees. If the cats weren't there, I would not go around them. Those spikes are 3-4 inches long, If you bump into them or step on one you wouldn't soon forget that moment.
I guess evolution found it necessary for those Locust to develop those spikes to protect the trees from mammoths and other tree foraging animals. They make good foot guides too. Have a couple sets out now with those limbs as stepping sticks.

That is certainly a Honey Locust. I have burned a bunch of it. It is stringy and kind of hard to split but it makes a lot of heat. I had on tennis shoes and stepped on one of the thorns. It hurts a lot worse than stepping on a nail.
My name ain't Keith

Leaves huge amounts of ash, but, makes excellent firewood.

Good deer food right there. Long pods with a sweet pulp. Deer eat them like we do corn on the cob.
Honey locust is uncommon here and tends to be short lived. A lot of deer stands in Ohio, including mine, are intentionally put near honey locusts trees. The deer will dig down through snow to eat the pods. The grass under the productive trees stays knocked down and torn up. The deer spread the seeds all over in their feces. Honey locust trees get big here. I have many over 40 inches in diameter, that I would like to cut into lumber. Keith

Most of the Mississippi and Ohio river drainages as far north as Iowa. Stops short of Minn.

Those thorns HURT and will reach out and grab you if you do anything near that tree.
Deer LOVE the pods.
How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

It's not a chokecherry tree but you might get a post saying it is. I never seen anything like that in my life.
