Elaine, I never water the tree, it is not close enough to my flower beds that it would get water from them either, so idk there?? And there are lots of locust trees near here in bloom, so location and light situations is really not a factor. I just kept wondering if there were male & female trees in this species, and I had the one that did NOT bloom. All it dies is have little clusters of green things on it that look like they might be young clusters of immature buds. The first year it did that, I got excited, cause they are elongated like the white blossom cluster, and I thought it was setting buds. But they never did anything. And every year they form and never do anything.
Alyssa, I don't think my tree has any thorns on it. I have never seen any on it, nor on any of the occasional branch that it might drop. It does have some strange green stuff growing in it though. Mossy looking stuff. I don't know what it is, have not noticed it before, but taking the pix today, I saw it all in the limbs like Spanish moss. And we are way too far north fir Spanish moss. I took a pix of a fluff of it on the side of the trunk. I also took pix of the leaves, trunk, the tree and the little bloom cluster things.
