It wasn't good for anything and this area was full of it. Too hard to cut and hewn, too scragly to use as is. Then they started burning it and discovered its flavor potential. It is almost impossible to kill a mesquite tree, it has a very broad seeding range and is very hardy. It also soaks up groundwater, which can be a good in marshy areas, but wrecks havoc in grassland.</p></blockquote><p></p>
