    About Ironwood from
    Sciencing
    :
    The desert ironwood tree,
    Olneya tesota
    , is a member of the legume family and is the only species in its genus. It is commonly found in the deserts of the Southwest, especially Arizona. Ironwood trees are considered a keystone species in this region because they provide food and shelter for several species of animals and plants. Their heavy, dense wood is prized as firewood and as a shade tree in the desert. . . .
    The desert ironwood tree grows 20 to 50 feet tall, making it the tallest tree in the Sonoran Desert. Its name comes from the heavy, dense heart wood the tree produces.
    The wood is one of the heaviest in the world.
    Unlike other types of wood, ironwood does not float because of its high density. It burns at a high temperature making it an ideal wood for a campfire on a chilly night.
