Yuma
 
is
 
not
 
necessarily
 
know
 
as
 
a
 
region
 
for
 
the
 
propaga-
tion
 
of
 
ornamental
 
and
 
other
 
landscape
 
trees,
 
yet
 
some
 
niche
 
pro-
duction
 
does
 
occur
 
in
 
the
 
area. Case
 
in
 
point
 
is
 
the
 
mesquite
 
tree,
 
destined
 
for

River
 
reclamation
 
and

renova-

The
 
mesquite
 
tree
 
is
 
one
 
of
 
the
 
most
 
common
 
trees
 
of
 
the
 
southwestern
 
United
 
States
 
and
 
parts
 
of
 
Mexico. It
 
is
 
a
 
member
 
of
 
the
 
legume
 
family
 
of
 
plants
 
which
 
includes
 
peanuts,
 
alfalfa,
 
clover,
 
and
 
beans. Perfectly
 
adapted
 
for
 
its
 
dry
 
environment,
 
the
 
mesquite
 
is
 
a
 
hardy
 
tree. The
 
mesquite
 
grows
 
in
 
the
 
northern
 
parts
 
of
 
Mexico
 
including
 
the
 
Chihuahuan
 
Desert,
 
a
 
mountainous
 
desert
 
region
 
that
 
is
 
on
 
the
 
US-Mexico
 
border. The
 
mesquite
 
thrives
 
from
 
its
 
Mexican
 
range
 
all
 
the
 
way
 
through
 
Texas
 
and
 
up
 
into
 
the
 
southwestern
 
portions
 
of
 
Kansas. It
 
extends
 
from
 
the
 
Sonoran
 
Desert
 
in
 
southern
 
California
 
to
 
southwestern
 
Utah. Most
 
of
 
the
 
places
 
that
 
you
 
will
 
find
 
mesquite
 
trees
 
in
 
have
 
a
 
low
 
annual
 
rainfall. There
 
are
 
three
 
types
 
of
 
mesquite
 
tree
 
that
 
grow
 
in
 
this
 
region.
