It is true that the mesquite tree is not the most attractive plant. It has a scrubby appearance and rather splayed limbs. The color display, sweet fragrance, and lure to honeybees make mesquite trees in the landscape valuable additions, and seeds from the pods remain viable for up to fifty years. Growing mesquite trees from seed is not an easy task, however. In spite of the vigor of the seeds, the correct conditions must be met. Germination takes place at 80 to 85 degrees F. (27-29 C.) under just a dusting of soil. A rainstorm or consistent water is necessary until the seed sprouts. Then dryer conditions and temperatures up to 90 degrees F. (32 C.) produce the best growth.
