Prosopis pubescens - anyone have these growing? I know they are a fast grower, but how fast is fast? We graded our front yard today and pulled out a dying tree I've hated for years. Not even sure what kind it was, just that it got worse every year. It is decidious and has these little propeller thingies in the spring that make a mess...

Now that the tree is out, I really want to put in a mesquite or two. I like them a lot. The Chilean is thornless - even better. I plan to buy them from turtleman so I'm sure he can give me lots of info too. Just curious your experience or any other tree suggestions. I have the little Vitex tree from the fall swap really wanting to get planted too. It's full of leaves. If that will take full sun maybe I'll plant that in the front as well. How big do they get? If not too big I'd rather plant it in the back yard, but the area I want to put it I have to have clearance for power lines...
