This grafted clone of South American Hybrid Mesquite combines the lush, thornless, uniform characteristics of Prosopis alba Colorado™ with a reliable root system that anchors the tree even in strong winds. In addition, the Prosopis juliflora rootstock has slowed down the top growth considerably, and resulted in healthier branching structure.
Prosopis hybrid Phoenix™ will reach a mature size of 30 feet tall and wide. In lowdeserts it is semi-evergreen, with lush green compound leaves. It is reliably cold hardy to 15° F. These trees are either multi-trunked or low-breaking, but a good percentage have the narrow vase shape required for parking lots and other narrow planting spaces.
