Yep! Mesquite is a challenge to keep it controlled.
Luckily there isn't any east of the Trinity river.
Says who? Van Zandt Co has plenty.
The guy that took down a large oak for me said to drill a bunch of 1" holes in the stump and fill them full of diesel. He said the stump would be gone in a year. Did I do it, nope. If I had the stump would be gone by now. It's only 36" across.
