Opinions on hibiscus in AZ

I have a few hibiscus plants in my yard and I'm not certain if it is worth keeping them or completely removing as I transition to a more native/pollinator friendly garden. I don't want to remove everything in a "scorched earth" approach if it wouldn't make sense to remove established plants that may be beneficial.

That being said, I can't imagine hibiscus is native to AZ and there are better options available that would make more sense for the area If anyone would like to weigh in or provide feedback on keeping or removing the plants, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Mesquite tree placement

Hello! I am beginning my journey into replacing non-native plants for native/pollinator friendly options. One goal was to plant native shade trees to help protect plants from the blazing AZ sun and to make our yard more enjoyable. As luck would have it, a couple of the mesquite pods from my neighbors tree germinated in our yard and we are now the recipients of a couple Mesquite trees.

I am interested in letting it grow since it's native, free, and seems to be doing well without any intervention.

My question is: Would there be any reason to remove this tree that I'm not thinking of? Any possible risk being close to the block wall? Id love to nurture this tree as long as I'm not creating a disaster situation unknowingly. Thanks!

Mods, please remove if this post is not allowed. Hopefully I have the right community.

I recently purchased this oil painting and at the time I didnt notice these scratches/cracks. Is this something that can be fixed professionally? Thanks

Edit: spelling
