These naturally occuring hybrids of the Southwest are much more ornamental in nature than their parent species. This plant is very thorny, and the drop lots of litter, but are virtually bulletproof. This is a naturally occurring cross between Prosopis alba and Prosopis velutina that is considered native to the desert Southwest. Images of other Prosopis will aid in identification.
