Prosopis kuntzei
Neltuma kuntzei is a spiny, drought-tolerant leguminous tree from the Gran Chaco of South America, usually 4 to 10 m tall. It is a wild species, not a common garden plant, and grows best in hot, dry, open conditions.
Neltuma kuntzei (formerly Prosopis kuntzei) is a South American leguminous tree species that inhabits the westernmost Gran Chaco forests covering areas of Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. It has also been able to colonize the nearby pasture sabanas. It is commonly referred to as itín, palo mataco, carandá or barba de tigre. It is adapted to arid climate, but can also survive flooded ground for a long time.
