Mesquite

 Mesquite tree (Casa Grande ruins, Coolidge, Arizona)

If you find yourself in a desert in Southern California or Arizona, chances are you will see mesquite bush around. It's one of the sturdy plants, sometimes bush, sometimes a tree that is thriving in a desert environment. American Indians used the seeds of the plant to make bread.
