Feature Tree: Mesquite (Prosopis spp.)

A native of the desert southwest, Native Americans would grind the pods into a flour called pinole. It's a fast growing tree whose dimensions average around 30' x 30'. It's semi-evergreen with seasonal litter & possibly thorns, depending on the species. The one in this picture has been properly pruned for the monsoons.



Feature Shrub: Sage(Leucophyllum spp.)

A native of Texas, it's often called the "Barometer Bush" because it's flowering is triggered by changes in humidity. They ordinarily bloom Summer to Fall. They average about 6' x 6' & have a rounded form. Low litter & no thorns. Loves full sun & is a conservative water user.
