Southeastern, New Hampshire

Look at the very long red hairs on the branches and even on the seed pods!
I did not find any thorns on the branches as I often do for the more hairless
and somewhat similar Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia).
There are two other Robinia species in New Hampshire:
- Clammy Locust (Rose Acacia) (Robinia viscosa): Similar to Bristly Locust but
has the braches are covered with numerous, sticky short-stalked red glands and has a
pink-colored, pea-like flower.
- Black Locust (False Acacia) (Robinia pseudoacacia): Similar to
Bristly Locust but has no hairs or sticky red glands on the branches.
White, pea-like flowers.
