First of all, prosopis is a hardy species and is a representative of arid zones where water availability is low. The tree has a profuse growth and has adaptive characteristic in its spines and thus not eaten by many animals. Being a leguminous plant, fixes nitrogen through root nodules. In many parts of India, it is a menace and pretty difficult to eradicate completely. Hope this answers your question.
