Senegalia Mellifera

Senegalia mellifera, also known as the honey mesquite, is a hardy leguminous tree native to arid and semi-arid regions of Africa and the Americas. It is well adapted to harsh environments, thriving in poor soils and extreme temperatures. The plant is notable for its ability to fix nitrogen, improving soil fertility and making it valuable for land restoration. Its small, edible pods are used by both wildlife and humans, providing a reliable food source in drought conditions. This resilient species plays a crucial role in sustaining ecosystems in some of the world's most challenging climates.
