This is mostly for @BarryRichardson, but others can appreciate it also.
The reason I decided to post this comment from a politician is, it's been my experience that Salt Cedar does not burn. Maybe the leaves are the issue, but solid stuff mostly chars rather than burn. with the right amount of heat, it will reduce to ashes, but not without some type of stimulator?. ( spell check state it's not a proper word)
"The proliferation of Salt Cedars in the Gila River has turned our oasis in the desert to a wildfire and flood hazard. Meanwhile the Salt Cedars have consumed millions of acre feet of water and crowded out native vegetation to the point where large sections of the Gila River are now monocultures that can't support native wildlife. We are very grateful to Senator Sinema for introducing the Drought Relief Through Innovative Projects (DRIP) Act and its inclusion in the Water Resources Development Act of 2020 (WRDA). This legislation will serve Buckeye, the state of Arizona and the Southwest United States well. Thank you Senator Sinema for your time and effort!" - Eric Orsborn, City of Buckeye Mayor
So Barry, what do you think of this. Are you gonna try to get any?
Salt Cedar has some interesting wood and is easy to turn. ............. Jerry (in Tucson)
