To many of us, mesquite is just a BBQ flavoring. Mesquite is common in the southwestern parts of the United States. It is a medium-sized tree that thrives in dry conditions. The plant is not well suited where soils are overly sandy or soggy. Gardeners in northern and eastern states will need a little information on how to grow a mesquite tree. These areas are more challenging, but it is possible to have mesquite trees in the landscape. Mesquite is an easy-to-care-for tree with few pests or problems. Mesquite Plant Info
Mesquite plants ( Prosopis) are found wild on flood plains, near streams and rivers, and in fields and grazing pastures.
