Description: Description and uses of Honey Mesquite.
Source: James A. Duke. 1983. Handbook of Energy Crops. unpublished. Honey mesquite, though the major endemic woody plant in West Texas (Goen and Dahl, 1982) and considered useful by many, has probably received more attention for its negative rather than positive economic impact (see 1982 J. Range Mgt. references). Still, this and other mesquite have been favored firewoods for years, and this use is expanding. Not differentiating the American desert species, Felger (1977) says, "Mesquite was the most widespread and important resource of the diverse native peoples in southwestern North America. It was utilized for food, fuel, shelter, weapons, tools, fiber, dye, cosmetics, medicine, and a multitude of other practical as well as aesthetic purposes: every part of the plant was used."
