Why the mesquite.
We didn't choose the mesquite by accident. It is the tree that refuses to quit. While others need rich soil and steady rain, the mesquite drives a taproot deeper than almost any plant on earth to find water no one else can reach.
It thrives in heat that kills everything around it. It survives drought, fire, and decades of hard years, and it does more than endure: it enriches the very ground it stands in, so that everything near it grows stronger too.
That is how we think about capital, and about the businesses we back. Markets have seasons. We dig deeper, we plan for the dry years before they come, and we stay rooted when others are blown over.
The strength of a thing is in its roots, not its weather.The Mesquite Principle
