I bet shot guns are your favorite weapon aren't they "Okra?"   :D   ;)   ;D

[Okrafarmer]

Actually, yes.  ;D Shotguns. The legal machine guns.  ;D

Mine can make 18 pellets of 00 buck come out with just one squeeze of the trigger.

So I guess I could just cut and paste the entire "List of Arizona trees" from Wikipedia!

[Jay C. White Cloud]

 :D :D :D
I can just see okra, seething at his computer at this stage of playing with M.B. and going!!! "it's gotta be one of these...," then he just whips out the "shot gun" of tree species hoping one will be right... :D :D :D I'm laughing to hard to write.

Smoke tree.

"What has it got in its pocketses?"  >:(

[Jay C. White Cloud]

Psorothamnus sp, is that what you mean "Okra,"  there are several trees with the vernacular smoke, but I'm not sure if they are native to Arizona, or get large enough...I'm about to get my tree shot gun out too.  I might give up on this one....maybe...I'm thinking about it.....really I am....well, a little anyhow.

The more subtle shotgun. I used the .410 this time.  :D
It's like saying maple. Many kinds. Or Ironwood. . . many kinds.

But on one of his earlier quizzes I noticed that there is such a thing as a smoke tree in Arizona.

[Jay C. White Cloud]

MB you said native to Arizona, but this is looking a lot like a fruit tree wood, and I see a bore hole.  This isn't apple or peach tree wood is it?  They aren't native.   ???

[giant splinter]

if it native my best shot is
semi deciduous ..... Catclaw Acacia
              or

If non Native ..... Deciduous  ..... Red Push Pistache


if I am not close, how about another clue

[Jay C. White Cloud]

Anacardiaceae (Acacia sp, plus it wood have to be really color washed out to be one of these I would think ???) and Fabaceae family, (Pistacia sp) have both been ruled out, I believe.  We do need another clue,  is it medicinal or used for something specific?

[Okrafarmer]

Hmm, he hasn't answered for a while.

Everybody wants a clue...............

Sorry, guys, just got back from cutting big mesquite out at el rancho.

[mesquite buckeye]

Clue #6: Sometimes has fall colors.

Clue #7: This tree can bloom almost any time of the year.

[Jay C. White Cloud]

This would be a type of Olea species would it?  The wood is similar but I didn't think Arizona had a native species.
