"You're amazing, Ericka! "
"I usually start with 1 C packed basil, add 2-3 cloves squeezed garlic. I put in blender and start slowly adding oil until it is thick and creamy, then add about 1/3 C grated Parmesan cheese. That seems to add enough salt flavor, and I don't add nuts…"
"The trees were in a 5 gallon container for $6.50. They ranged from 8 to 20 inches tall. There were larger buckets for $20.00. DBG does not sell them throughout the year. Hope this helps."
"If you are wanting true natives, it is more important that the nursery has the botanical name on the pots rather than them saying they are "native" mesquites. Hybrid mesquites are everywhere and not true natives (though they may be a cross between a…"
"I am just curious how large the trees are and the cost. I looked at some mesquite at A & P and they looked like large sticks for 44.95 (think they were 15 gallon). I may just check out some other sources that have been provided to me by the…"
"Just came back from Botanical Gardens and you are right, they had no thornless or velvet mesquite although their plant list had it as one of the trees available. I ended up purchasing the screwbean among several others. I was pleased to find…"
"Not east valley, but Desert Gardens Nursery carries all kinds of natives. Off the 101 and Cave Creek. A friend of ours got his Velvet mesquites there.

"The Desert Botanical Garden did have some Honey Mesquite at their fall sale this morning (today was members only day) - I didn't check to see if they were thornless though. I purchased my Honey Mesquite earlier this year from Baker's Nursery (40th…"
"Thank you. I am amazed that something so native is so difficult to find here. I will most likely attend the plant sale as well."
"I called all around and found one nursery Desierto Verde - 480-423-0202.
I will still be going to Botanical garden plant sale, they have a thornless honey mesquite. My type of tree."

"I will have to check that out. I have gone to their sales in the past, but was never looking for trees. Thank you for the information, and for responding."
"Thank you for the information. I was looking at their website today and didn't find any mesquite listed, but will call them. Could be they don't keep an updated listing on line. I appreciate your response to my inquiry."

"I know Shady Way Nursery (shadyway.com) in Apache Junction has them sometimes. Also Apache Landscape has native trees. We bought ours in Tucson at Desert Survivors (desertsurvivors.org) nursery that grow only natives."
