Mesquites are heavy water consumers. A single tree can consume nearly 21 gallons of water per day. Mesquites absorb groundwater and lower the water table effectively causing surrounding vegetation to die off, making it able to thrive and spread. It is considered the most common pest plant in Texas. Almost a quarter of Texas grasslands are infested with Mesquite. The range of Mesquite covers nearly 2.5 million acres of land across the US and Mexico, extending from Northern Mexico, all the way through Kansas.

​@4ll4ll funny. I have the opposite effect on my property. Wherever I let a mesquite tree do its thing is where the soil and surrounding plants flourish the most. Ppl say the same crap about juniper trees. I agree they can get out of hand but the mesquite is a great tree to have on the property

You should start producing lump mesquite charcoal. In addition, can thank cattle herds for bringing mesquites with them.

LRR, I recently bought a place in Menard County with lots of mesquite trying to take over. Trees up to 4 inch diameter I stem spray from 12 inches to the ground with 15% Triclopyr in Diesel and they are dried up dead within a couple weeks so you don't have to wait a year. I haven't had very good luck with cut stump spraying with the same solution. Now I need to start on the prickly pear. I hear Meza Vue is best but haven't tried it. Good Luck.

@@LewisRenovation The best results that I've had killing locust and mesquite is basal bark treatment. You use way less herbicide (cheaper) and it's more effective as the diesel oil ensures penetration for a total kill. I started out doing foilar spray like you showed in this video, and found it's just not effective on the really big trees. I still use foilar on the small saplings but everything else gets hit with basal treatment. I've got a couple videos on my channel of killing those buggers if its of any help.

People have no idea how fast theses trees grow. Very hard wood, high water retention, and during droughts their tap root reaches deeper exponentially. They inhibit other vegetation from growing. Trust me when I say these trees will not go extinct easily, probably never will.

my issue is all of the mesquites on my property are small. I shred them with the mower, pick axe them, spray them with round up, but the sons of bitches wont stay dead. Pulled out a tiny one yesterday and the root was 3 feet long. What a curse. Do you know if your mixture had any effect on the small plant you sprayed? Thanks in advance.
