We’ve been talking for weeks about the ferocious thorn bushes in West TX. Here is a rather spindly one. Note that it is taller than Nolan (7) and do you see the thorns? They cover this thing. Each branch ends in a thorn.
Friday I asked the museum curator what the scientific name for the thorn bushes everywhere is. She told me it was MESQUITE! I couldn’t believe it. They grow into huge trees and the trees also have thorns…..I say cut it all down and smoke your brisket with it!
Here's a shot of Mesquite from our caching yesterday....more photos later.
