They just doen't seem to be prevalent here.<br /><br />You might could have gotten posts around the Dallas area in one of the little towns. Of course the farmers do not advertise. They just cut them down and burn them.<br /><br />My dad had to cut down some huge dead pecan trees and bois d'arc trees on his ranch. Of course he burnt the huge pile as I begged him not to do so. Oh well....<br />P.S. We did get some pecan wood for bbque.No Mashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937153685615919457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35412742.post-5821564937455797772006-11-28T23:24:00.000-06:002006-11-28T23:24:00.000-06:00This is a great tree, in my opinion, although it d...This is a great tree, in my opinion, although it does have thorns. For the longest, I wanted to find Bois d'arc posts to make my fence, but I couldn't find the wood as fence posts anywhere.

We have a Bois d'arc at my work place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35412742.post-55947463989210389992006-11-28T23:04:00.000-06:002006-11-28T23:04:00.000-06:00Not for human consumption.
