Prosopis koelziana is a tree in the pea family native to the Arabian Peninsula, southern Iraq and southern Iran, historically found along river courses, oases and salt marshes. It is now rare in the wild, so it is seldom grown in gardens and little is documented about cultivating it.
Prosopis koelziana is a species of plant in the genus Prosopis. It is found in the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq and Iran.
It was once widespread in its natural habitats, concentrated in river courses and desert streams, in wet agricultural lands in oases, around some lakes, swamps and salt marshes, as well as in some dry sand dunes. However, its presence is now limited to some of its historical sites only and it has become extinct from most of its original habitats due to agricultural and urban expansion in its ancient forests, overgrazing by livestock, and the use of its trees as a source of natural firewood, so only a little of it remains.
