![despite making the pool extremely messy, I have basically cleaned up the patio area around the pool which had a week's worth of rain and debris that it brought. the picture is of magic hour with a golden shaft of light hitting both the honey Mesquite tree in the corner of this yard situated adjacent to South Mountain Park and on an incline, as well as part of the now possibly 20 ft tall jacaranda tree that was planted during early pandemic.

Mesquite trees are botanically classified in the genus Prosopis, part of the Fabaceae (legume) family. The common name "mesquite" is a Spanish adaptation of the Aztec word "mizquitl". Several species are commonly referred to as "mesquite," including honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), velvet mesquite (Prosopis velutina), and screwbean mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa var. torreyana).
Mesquites have extremely long roots to seek water from very far under ground. As they are legumes, mesquites are one of the few sources of fixed nitrogen in the desert habitat. The trees bloom from spring to summer. They often produce fruits known as "pods". Mesquites are able to grow up to 8 metres (26 ft) tall, depending on site and climate. They are deciduous and depending on location and rainfall have either deep or shallow roots. Mesquites are considered long-lived because of the low mortality rate after the dicotyledonous stage and juveniles are also able to survive in conditions with low light and drought. The Cahuilla indigenous people of western North America were known to eat the seeds of mesquite.[2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gzg3h5hprb74kz2igyghudlb/bafkreidibmch5qgadfqrdbvjqa53wmedkxobyc6erbcr6omb2a66nry6oi@jpeg)
