Description

The listing, 7 Mesquite Tree Seed Pods 2011 fresh has ended.

To the winner: 7 mesquite tree seed pods fresh harvested this month. I have about a 40% germination rate with these. The pods are very hard so break them, but do so carefully. Then use clippers (I use rose Snips) to open the edge of each seed. Soak in water for a few days then plant. These trees do have long thin thorns. they also grow massive "hairy" root systems so should not be planted close to septic systems or pipes. I live in a desert terrain and they grow amazingly well here. Happy bidding!

I added a few pictures. One is the full grown tree and one a close up of the leaves and a thorn. I have no idea how well these would do in KY, but they thrive like weeds in Texas!
