just saying there are uses for things tough thorny drought loving trees make great hedge rows in farm land stopping desertification. the wood is extremity hard and durable making great cheep wood for shipping pallets that can be reused many times.

They would not make it through customs they would destroy it without telling any one, they are very strict, even going from South Australia to Western Australia you are not allowed to take anything no potatoes or carrots they search your car, caravan, truck. Its a strange experience the border is half way across the Nalabor Plains (desert ) it takes 4 days to cross the plains and there are only roadhouses to fuel up and get supplies. At the border roadhouse there is a caravan park ( nothing else ) and everyone stays there to cook up all their vegetables so they don,t have to throw them away.

I suspect that horse apples, or beaux de Arc fruits would be considered a potentially noxious weed-tree in Australia. They are very thorny and tough well adapted trees. The only thing that holds them back here in the south central US is that they have lots of bugs that like to eat them. In Australia, freed of those pests, they would go nuts, and become noxious.
