Not a very good picture, but this is the end of the old fence line.

And this is the average size of the mesquite trees, although they were all sizes.


Now it's time to do something else. 2,4-D on thistles coming soon, maybe more fencing and work on the pens, and of course mesquite foliar treatment in late May.

Screw that. Let it grow. The deer and turkeys will appreciate it.

It is still there without mesquite. Now it is mostly hackberry, granjeno, and agarita.

Tough job...almost done with mine as well. 10-15 years in the making of various projects.

Atta boy Allen, way to finish the job. I approve of any and all mesquite killing threads.

You can make some great lamps and vases out of those larger slices.

Got sidetracked a bunch of times.... mostly by rain or chainsaw failure. The bolts would no longer hold the muffler on. Googled it and it happens a lot. The old bolt holes were helicoiled and that seems to have fixed it.

Killing it may do the job in the short term, but just like hannibal did to the guard, you need to put it on display to let the other trees know how serious you are:

Here is a much better way to clear a fence.
