Content: The slender, sharp thorns on shrubby mesquite plants make them ideal for planting as a defensive hedgerow. Some mesquite trees are spineless hybrids. If you want to grow a mesquite tree in your backyard, choose a cultivar with no spines. Or you can prune spines off young trees, and they won’t regrow as the tree matures. Mesquite Tree Bark

Mesquite tree bark looks rough and scaly and is typically a reddish-brown color. Depending on the species, mesquite bark can be almost black, or it can be light brown. Young mesquite trees tend to have thin, light-colored bark. But the bark becomes fissured and darker as the tree matures. The bark on mesquite trees also has a spiky appearance due to the straight thorns. Mesquite Flowers
