Content: If you are looking for some winter drama or summer shade in your backyard, honey mesquite trees should be your go-to choice of tree. Their twisted trunks and yellow-colored spring flowers will add the pop of beauty that you want for your landscape. Honey mesquite trees are fast-growing species that can grow as tall as 3 feet and as wide as 40 feet. Their taproots can dig deep into the soil, sometimes to an incredible depth of 150 feet. This is the reason why honey mesquite trees are drought resistant. The ornamental value of the honey mesquite tree is due to its pale, yellow-colored flowers that bloom in spring and the unusual seed pods. What makes their pods unique is their long and tubular appearance that resembles wax beans. The seed pods ripen late in the summers. The bark of honey mesquite trees is scaly, rough, and reddish-brown in color. These trees also have long thorns that make them suitable to be used as defensive hedges.
