This is the "grove of locusts and mulberries across the road" from the general store where "Barn Burning" begins (6). (It's in The Hamlet that V.K. Ratliff locates this event in Grenier County, though his account doesn't specifically mention the grove.)

This youth shouts "Barn burner!" at Ab Snopes after his trial as he leaves the general store with his two sons (5). From Sarty's perspective, this boy appears as "a face in a red haze, moonlike, bigger than the full moon," and though the boy is "half again his size," Sarty attacks him (5-6).
