Learn all about the different types of Mesquite trees to get adequate knowledge about these hardy plants especially if you're looking into planting them in your backyard. Mesquites are one of the most common trees that are found in parts of Mexico and Southwestern United States. Mesquite is a member of the genus of leguminous trees, Prosopis, that has about 40 species under its umbrella, including peanuts, clover, alfalfa, and beans. Mesquite trees are quite hardy and are well adapted to dry environments. They are mostly found growing in the northern areas of Mexico, including the Chihuahuan Desert. Most of the areas where mesquite trees grow have a fairly low annual rainfall. The English name Mesquite has been borrowed from Mezquita, a Spanish word, which itself is borrowed from a Nahuatl term, mizquitl. Mesquites can grow as a small shrub in shallow soil or may grow as tall as 50 feet where the soil is deep and adequately moist. They can also be found with single or multiple branches. These trees blossom from spring till summer, and they produce fruits in the form of pods.
