JackCrafty:
Cowboy....it looks like immature honey mesquite... ???
cowboy:
I know what your talking about Pat - it grows all over my back yard. It's fun to teach kids new discoveries with it when it closes up ;D.
I don't think it's mesquite, it grows along creeks and streams and in clear cuts. It's some kind of weed and dies out anually. Anyway, I twisted up some cordage out of it and it was hell for stout but gets somewhat brittle when it dries - probably not much good..
Pat B:
Paul, Does it have a fruit(later in the season). It kinda looks like partridge pea...but not quite! Pat
Hillbilly:
Paul, I'm with Pat, it looks like some sort of Cassia species. You got a lot of plants out there that I've never seen or heard of before, though.
cowboy:
If memory serves me correctly - it makes bean pods when it matures, i'm pretty sure. Will see if I can look it up in a field guide.
