Species #3


Scientific Name: Prosopis
Common Name: Mesquite Tree
The beans from the mesquite tree can be ground into flour to make bread and other bread like things. It also is full of nutrients for many animals. The Indian people and the Hispanic and Anglo settlers believed that the mesquites showed individuality, adaptability, opportunism, toughness and stubbornness.
I believe that the mesquite tree is domesticated because they have become accustomed to human control.
Humans co evolve with the mesquite tree because the beans from it are used to make flour. They also were a symbol to early settlers.
