Robinia pseudoacacia - black locust Black locust at Barber Park near the Boise River at the east end of East Boise Avenue, Boise, Ada County, Idaho. The non-dominance of the apical meristem renders the crooked tree growth habit of this species. This population could represent trees originally grown for ornamental purposes but this tree species does establish as an adventive.
