Yep it is, you are make'n me home sick...I love the mountains here in Vermont, my blood is from the Ozarks, but my ancestors roots on mom's side is the "Cochise Stronghold."  You gave me the answer, I didn't get anything.  Medicinal, UV glow, and it's legume, what else could it be?  Is there something else?  I don't believe, there all in that genus are't they?

Can't wait till we can drag each other to our favorite "haunts,"

Best Regards,  jay

The Dragoons are an amazing place. I can see why Cochise chose this place to defend.

You are always welcome, Jay. ;D

The glowing water thing is also very cool.

Interesting that what glows yellow in the blacklight (sorry about the crappy pic, my good blacklight died), turns into something that glows blue in daylight. ;D

[Jay C. White Cloud]

Thank's Brother,  I know if I had to pick one of the spots on this planet to "dig in for a fight," it would be the Dragoons!  You get me in there and you just "tucked me into bed," ain't a scaly slithery, feathery-furry, crawly, or growy thing that hasn't been in my hand or my grandmothers...I love the Dragoons!  Great Creator willing, I will see them again.

Thanks for the memories,  jay

Never heard of it  .  Must not be very common.

[Texas Ranger]

Nor I, and I am from Missouri

[Jay C. White Cloud]

It's not that uncommon, but not a species you would see in the wood trade.  Nurseries sell it, because it is a nice arid garden tree, and the flowers smell sweet.  I remembered some of the traits, when he gave us the clues, legum, it is u.v. reflective, and the big one that triggered the old memory banks, it's a "blood cleaner," medicinal.  If your into landscaping or herbal remedies you could call it common.

I don't think it is! (unless you mean to Georgia)

Never heard of it  .  Must not be very common.

Native S AZ to W TX south into at least northern Mexico. Grows to 20-25ft tall 10-15ft wide and up to about a foot thick. This tree is making its way into the nursery trade, as it is a great patio - pool tree for areas that rarely get below 15°

The wood was used at one time to treat kidney disorders, is fluorescent under blacklight, and infusion of heartwood sawdust in spring water glows blue in daylight. A very cool tree. Nowhere common.

I don't do ornamentals or imports ;D.

I'll stick mostly to natives unless I don't

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
