Description

The listing, Mesquite Tree Seeds has ended.

Several Mesquite Tree seed pods like those pictured above will be sent to the winning bid. The trees are very drought resistant & beautiful with their light feathery leaves & interesting trunks & branches. I have successfully grown a couple trees from seed & one I've grown in a pot & trained/trimmed as a beautiful Bonsai!

Questions & Comments

What variety of mesquite trees are these? Have you used the beans for food?

This is the Honey Mesquite, I think. I haven't used it for food but the web site says they are quite commonly used to make a type of flour. These trees are a member of the legume family.

We used to collect the mesquite beans. My grandmother fixed them and we ate them as a snack.

It takes a 5 gallon bucket to make very much flour but it is supposed to be a complete protein, The seed pods are very hard to grind and require a very sturdy way of grinding them.
