FYI: hedge, osage orange, Bois d' arc, do dark or bodark all names for the same tree, Maclura pomifera. Its wood, wet or dry, is near indestructible and fasteners of any kind need pilot holes. Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), AKA locust, yellow locust, white locust, green locust, post locust and false acacia has rose-like thorns on its branches and a compound leaf on a single central stem. Its seed pods are relativley small. Its wood is streaked red or yellow. Honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos),AKA common locust, has thorns that may be branched.

Its seed pods are 7 to 18 inches long. The wood is uniform cream color. Black locust makes a great fence post.
