Mesquite grows in AK?I harvested almost 5 gallons of mesquite bean pods. I’ll try making syrup out of it in the next day or two, then figure out what in the world I’m doing!
Mesquite grows in AK?
No, I haven't. I grew up in New Mexico on several acres where we had hundreds of mesquite bushes, and I developed an intolerance (not quite an allergy) to it, unfortunately. Now I live in east Texas and we don't have mesquite for a hundred miles.Thanks @lumpher, have you made any syrup?
I think… it’s a honey mesquite. I have a plant app, and that’s what it said.Do you know the sub-species of mesquite you are using? I think my backyard tree is a South American variety and not suitable for use. I assume that sugar mesquite should be excellent, but really don’t know. Knowing what you’re experimenting with would help either identify a species that is good to use or not if you are happy/unhappy with your results. We have so many varieties in AZ, wouldn’t it be awesome to have a list of varieties and descriptions like they have for hops?
