I was today years old when I learned: that tumbleweeds are not a plant which is native to North America; were not widely present in the USA during the late 1800’s; did not really tumble their way through the old west as you may imagine they did via cowboy movies,that came later.
And many other facts about their present status as a noxious weed.
If Joe Scott can be believed, which it appears he can.
