Adaptable and hardy, these trees thrive under the scorching sun in poor soil conditions that would be inhospitable to many other plants. Their deep root systems, which can reach as far as 200 feet underground, allow them to access water reserves hidden deep beneath the surface, making them incredibly resilient during droughts. Mesquite trees are not only beautiful to behold but are also crucial to their ecosystems, providing shade for undergrowth and habitat for wildlife, as well as producing pods that are edible and nutritious.
