Juniper burns hot as hell. Juniper and mesquite (brush) smell like they want to burn (lots of oils). Some of my neighbors plant Rosemary as ground cover which is madness), it too has lots of hot burning oils). I keep a 5 gallon pot of Rosemary for cooking seasoning. I'm in heavy brush fire country in SoCal. I've got 18 acres. Its an odd relationship between me and mother nature. I need the grasses in the Winter for erosion from rain, I wack them down in the Spring and the seeds grow again.
