fascinating and beautiful read. i appreciate reading about american landscape. i love this country and know it has been my absolute luck to be born and raised here. used to sing all the old one guitar folk songs 'this land is your land.' but it's also painful to learn how the american prairie has been carved up and dug into in order to overlay obstructive and unnatural environments,harming so many creatures in the process. i cannot reflect back to you how powerful your imagery is and how much it made me long for the beautiful lands i grew up on.
We have some remnant Osage orange on our non-prairie, heavily disected, valley in the northern most edge of the Ozark bio-region, just north of the missouri river. Very tough trees. Great read as it filled in a lot of holes in my understanding.
Always a pleasure to find fun details on the things surrounding us... here's to unearthing more, though I have to admit hedge has a rather rich history compared to say, pin oak or hackberry, which I'm also fond of. Guess I'll have to keep digging!

Thanks so much.. just know that there are many folks, lots of them fairly different from one another, working to preserve existing tall grass prairie.
This was so good!!
Aw shucks, thank you!
Thank you for articulating the pulse 🫀
Always grateful to listen, and hopefully interpret.

Glad I could share something relevant for you.
Yes it is very well written.
I also take comfort in marginal spaces so I really appreciated this
This was wonderful!! Love the rich storytelling and historical ecological details.
