The last big tree in the Prosopis genus - the Indian Mesquite.

Anybody growing this?  Got some seed recently.  Hopefully  germinating soon.

I grew a couple seedlings. Mine all died at around 32°. I've got some more seed. I should try again. I almost lost my single Prosopis juliflora the same year, but today it's about 6' tall.

The odd thing about this P. cineraria is the spine formation.

Like many plants, size matters.

I'm hoping to plant this out on the south side of the new house in Laredo.  Hot, humid and low rainfall, like west India.  Hopefully it doesn't croak that easy - there's one on the UofA campus that is fairly large.

Is this going to be your primary residence, or will it still be in the Brownsville area?

As I stated earlier; "size matters". I'm sure once they are 3-4' high they'll be safe down to 23°. So I'd keep them potted to start. I'll have to check out the UofA tree.

My primary house will still be in Brownsville, but we're buying a second place up in Laredo and I have collected a bunch of seed off rare stuff to grow there.  

Here's a thread on some of the stuff I'm growing and/or germinating:
