Mesquite thorns – in the picture the thorns of Prosopis juliflora
Mesquite trees are characterized by their stiff, sharp, pointed thorns. The spikes on thorny mesquite trees grow up to 3” (7.5 cm) long. The strong, stout mesquite spines can cause a lot of pain if you come into contact with them. Mesquite thorns can cause allergic reactions in some people. 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
