Seed Pods

I have a Chilean Misquite that produces seed pods which in turn attracts pack rats. Is there a treatment that prevents seed pod generation?

Larry -I'm guessing that this tree also has quite a few blossoms which is why you grow it! Botanically speaking, the only way to reduce the number of seed pods is to reduce the number of blooms - and I don't know if you want to do that. There are chemicals that can - but I believe they are restricted use (meaning you need a license to purchase/use). Go to: krwagner@cals.arizona.edu - Kristin is your local (Arizona Extension) person and would be more familiar with that plant! Good luck!
