GENERAL DISCUSSION
Mesquite (prosopis glandulosa) is common
throughout most of Texas except the Piney Woods. Mesquite belongs
to Legume family of trees.
Mesquite wood is classified as heavy, stiff, hard, and moderately
high in shock resistance. Historically, it was used for fence posts,
railroad ties and wagon wheels, hubs, and spokes. More recently Mesquite
has come into its own as fine flooring, gun stocks, and furniture.
Mesquite it is by far the most stable, and enduring, in addition to
being the most moisture, decay, and insect resistant of any domestic
wood. Mesquite is considered an exotic wood in part due to the high
cost of logging and subsequent milling costs.
Of Interest; Mesquite Bricks were used for the first paved streets
of San Antonio, Texas. In Spain it is known to exist as flooring in
some buildings for over five centuries (500 years).
