SNIP ........
The people that manage such land that I know are tickled at the sight of
a bowl made from russian olive.

Even people I work with
are astounded...they see the bowl then they tell me of the huge olive
tree in their yard they wish they
could get rid of.

Hi,
That's about the same situation we have here in Texas with the mesquites.
The ranchers consider them a big nuisance due to the thorns, and the fact
that the cattle and birds that feed on the seeds help to spread the growth
area by passage of the semi digested seeds. They regularly bulldoze large
areas and burn it, or just burn it as it stands.
