Positive melody On Jul 14, 2005, melody from Benton, KY (Zone 7a) wrote:

I do not grow this tree, but it has a place in securing the gravelly, rocky soil on hills and in canyons. Found in rocky soils on limestone and gypsum in SW. OK, TX, And SE. NM between 1000' and 5000'.

Named for Gifford Pinchot, first Chief of the US Forest Service and lovingly grown at Palo Duro State Park near Canyon, TX, where it was discovered.

This wonderfully hardy tree will sprout from stumps after cutting or burning. It's wood mostly used as fenceposts and fuel.
