Good humor and true.  You may find this interesting.  We had mesquite aeriel sprayed in the early 1970s with something that is probably banned now.  They remained barren for over 20 years in the areas that were not chained (if you are from TX you know what chaining is).  One day they all turned green.  Not one, but all of them.  Just curious if anyone else has ever experienced anything along these lines.
