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
.
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..

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.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

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.
