How much water does a mesquite tree use in one day?

A mesquite tree can use between 15 to 100 gallons of water per day, depending on factors such as the tree's size, age, environmental conditions, and soil moisture levels. In arid regions, they have adapted to maximize water use efficiency, allowing them to thrive in dry climates. This high water consumption is particularly pronounced during hot, dry weather when trees are actively growing.
