Ok looking for good shade or fruit TREES that are safe to eat. I did a search but only really finding bushes, flowers, weeds.. I already have a couple mulberry trees started from cuttings but I wanna go buy a couple bigger trees... or a link to a site that might have a list of edible trees other wise I might just plant mesquite trees and Palo Verdes.

Thanks for all your help!

When I read your thread title, I was going to suggest mulberry trees, but it seems you've already discovered them.

Can't beat them for shade, and then they let in full sun in winter, and they are excellent food, and they can survive and thrive in your oven-hot dry climate, as long as you make a large basin and trickle water them early and often.
