Slow. There are some fences that were built when this land was settled out of boise d arc post that are still in the gound. Last forever. People use them for foundation blocks for houses.. The trees are kind of a pain in the backside, they get thorns and also drop bowling ball sized horse apples..
There is one down the road that use to be one of the biggest in texas. One of our places has them all over it. The wood is bright yellow, very pretty and interesting grains.. We've made several things out of it... We oiled this hearth, so it darkened. It started out bright neon yellow and looked weird, so looks better dark.
