I need to know about mesquite too. I have my have situated right accross from a field that is being taken over by the misquite.
anyone have some exact dates for mesquite honeyflows around dallas texas???
 
The only thing I can think of is the trees in the forest. There is bound to be some evergreens. I think cedar ( I need to know
about evergreens too )a honey flow ( probly real late in the year ).
All trees must have a way to cross polinate so just use your knowlage of trees and figure out how it polinates itself. Also keep a
watchful eye for almonds ( if they grow there )
