Mesquite is a common name for several plants in the genus Prosopis, which contains over 40 species of small leguminous trees. They are native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. The mesquite originates in the Tamaulipan mezquital ecoregion, in the deserts and xeric shrublands biome, located in the southern United States and northeastern Mexico. It has extremely long roots to seek water from very far underground. The region covers an area of 141,500 km², encompassing a portion of the Gulf Coastal Plain in southern Texas, northern Tamaulipas, northeastern Coahuila, and part of Nuevo León. As a leguminous tree, mesquite is one of the few sources of fixed nitrogen in the desert habitat.

Mesquite wands require a firmly gentle touch but when given are wonderful helpmates to their master and are known for their reliability and remarkably focused spells.

Very few Mesquite wands are snapped by accident, seeming to have a stroke of odd luck keeping the wands from being snapped by chance alone.
