Plant your mesquite seeds during early spring and late fall. Since weather can vary by region, always plant during times when soil temperature is around 80 °F (27 °C). Seedling growth slows when temperatures exceed 95 °F (35 °C). {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/24\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/24\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-2.jpg\/aid9911060-v4-728px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Dry your pods out for 1 to 3 days to prevent fungal growth. Lay your pods in the sun on a cloth, metal roofing, or the hood of your car.
