Actually, Tumbleweeds are the final stage of a weed called Russian Thistles.
They start out very small & grow like crazy.
When they die out in fall, they pull away from the ground in the wind & go sailing around.
I pulled out & burned over 40 dead/dying sage & rabbit brush 2 weeks ago and used some rolling tumbleweeds to start the fire.
I have cleaned out tumbleweeds in years past that took days & long hours.
Burn pile took about 7 minutes to erase them.

They sure burn fast and hot, don’t they.
