Be Inspired: How to Use this Plant
Bloom Time | Inconspicuous; prized for foliage. |
---|---|
Deciduous/Evergreen | Semi-Evergreen |
Special Features | Easy Care, Waterwise, Benefits Birds |
Problems/Solutions | Erosion Control, Drought Tolerant |
Growth Rate | Moderate |
Growth Habit | Spreading |
Landscape Use | Privacy Screen |
Design Ideas | Few trees can rival this Mesquite for its light filtered shade. A great native of the Southwest that should be planted as groves to render patios and porches less vulnerable to oppressive heat. Plant in natural groupings for best results, or as a single specimen for front yard or beside a back patio. Keep away from pools because litter is a problem. The perfect tree for Santa Fe-style or drought-resistant gardens with a decidedly tropical flare. Particularly well adapted to Western native landscapes. |
Flower Color | Green |
Foliage Color | Green |
Companion Plants | Texas Ranger (Leucophyllum); Passion Flower (Passiflora); Yucca (Yucca); Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea); Ground Morning Glory (Convolvulus) |
Care Instructions | Thrives in lean, fast-draining soils. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, water only occasionally, as needed to encourage vigor; over-watering causes structurally weak wood. Fertilize lightly when new growth begins in spring. |
Lore | Genus Prosopis includes the famous trees of the American Southwest that produce nutritious pods vital to the material culture of many Native American tribes within its range. |
