Prosopis tamarugo, the tamarugo is a tree from the forbidding Atacama desert of northern Chile, where a salt crust several feet thick covers the soil. It is an evergreen, sparsely branching, leguminous tree that could become a source of shelter, shade, timber, fuel and fodder for animals in the most extreme of arid and saline sites. While this tree has a tremendous potential value, care should be taken in introducing it to more hospitable regions, since very little is known about the potential invasiveness of the species. A test planting of tamarugo should contain a limited number of trees isolated from other plantings.
