Mesquite Trees... · 3:41pm Feb 1st, 2013
Random blog about how I've seen these mesquite saplings growing around out near where I walk, yet I have no idea what type they are...
General Description of the saplings: The are a bright green, and grow straight up to decent height before they start gaining new branches. And their thorns are rather weird as they are a orangey yellow color, and have one long thorn with two shorter downward curving thorns right beneath that thorn.
Weird thing is.... the mesquite saplings look nothing like regular mesquite trees that grow near where I live. The only biggish variation of the tree which I would assume is still in the saplingish stage has greyish black bark starting to form in (along with the green color still being there), along with the thorns still being there (just smaller). And google is no help with this. May post a pic of it once I snap a picture of one of the saplings and the tree.
I've seen ones similar to that where I live, though they tend to be brownish in color, not green
