A spiny shrub or small tree native to Texas and Mexico, bearing small flowers and red berries; also called desert hackberry.
From Spanish 'granjeno,' of uncertain origin but possibly related to Spanish 'gran' (large) or diminutive forms, referring to a plant with small grain-like fruits.
The granjeno is a tough desert plant that can survive extreme heat and drought, and its berries were an important food source for Native American peoples and early settlers!
