Note: The Velvet Mesquite is the naturally occurring Mesquite in this portion of the Sonoran desert and there are several in the surrounding desert areas. Mesquites landscaped on the property may be species from other countries or hybrids unless otherwise labeled.
Mesquite pods are a favorite of the Desert Mule Deer that frequent the area and can easily hop any of the fences to get at them and other treats.
