Black Locust is a sustainable, no maintenance alternative to endangered tropical hardwoods and chemically treated lumber. Black Locust, also known as Robinia Pseudoacacia, is a naturally durable hardwood that will last for decades without any treatment. The Rainforest Alliance™ lists Black Locust among the most preferred alternatives vs. tropical hardwoods for outdoor applications. The harvesting of rainforest tropical hardwoods is unsustainable.
