Description

The listing, Mesquite Tree Seeds has ended.

Mesquite can be grown as a bush or a tree. You can prune it into a lovely tree or allow it to twist into an unusual shape. The trees are drought resistant & beautiful. They have feathery leaves with unusual flowers. The trunks, branches, leaves and flowers are all very unique.

My Grandmother used to make us collect the seed pods so she could cook the seeds. We ate them as snacks. They are so wonderful to eat. Other things can be done with them too. They can be ground and used as flour if you are gluten intolerant.

Questions & Comments

Do they produce a fruit or just the seeds?

No fruit. They produce flowers and the seeds. The seeds can be roasted and eaten or ground into flour. The old wood can be used for BBQ to smoke the meat.

That picture is a Mexican Bird of Paradise. Everything you said about the mesquite is true. The seeds ground into flour are great for someone on a gluten free diet.

It is a mesquite. They grow everywhere here. People collect the wood to smoke their bbq grills.

Pagie I was in a hurry earlier and should have explained more. The plant you are referring to is also called Pride Of Barbados and the Pride Of Texas. This plant is neither. It is actual mesquite. I do auction the plant you referring to also.
