Although the Chinese didn't immediately think of it as a writing material (preferring split bamboo for everyday use, and silk for high-status texts) paper found a multitude of applications across the Chinese empire while the codex spread across the Roman Mediterranean and Near East. Usefully, it could be made from a variety of raw materials; hemp, mulberry bark and old fishing nets all made good paper, and linen fibres, readily available in the form of worn-out underwear, worked particularly well.

I've posted about the association between hackberry and mesquite I've observed before (specifically, individuals of each species growing right next to each other, to the point they'd probably form a natural graft if they were the same species), but this is an extreme example. The green leaves at the top of the first picture are the hackberry's; you can see the straight edge where it's been chopped short, but losing their top is only a temporary setback for these trees. This hackberry is actually growing inside the mesquite! It's the the smoother gray wood visible in the second picture, contrasting with the heavily textured mesquite bark. Other than this central hollow, the mesquite was intact, which makes me suspect the hackberry germinated in there. Unfortunately, we were pressed for time and I couldn't examine it more closely, but we'll definitely come back to take a better look at some point.

You can tell hops and cannabis are in the same family !
