I hate that type of tree because they always make such a mess. First the seed pods, the tiny leaves by the billions, some little strainght stick looking things, and then this powder-puff type crap that gets into your nose like pollen or something.

They have to be trimmed 2x a year, are scorpions' favorites, and the roots aren't deep but run out as wide as the canopy of each tree. If you have a pool nearby you are in trouble.

And that's your botanical lesson for the day.

are mesquite bean pods.... I have a few at my house but i like them.. The yearly trimming goes into my mesquite bbq wood pile. and those bean pods when soaked work really good in the smoker for that mesquite flavoring. The leave dropping can be a pain but i welcome the shade over the inconvenience

They got into his garage and now he can get hem out. He must have left the windows down on the tundra when it was in the garage and they got in through there... i can't find any other vent openings big enough for them to get into in below the windshield

okay that explains it, also noticed what looks to be carpet fibers in the mix.
