A delightful drought-resistant tree that’s suitable for large gardens, and parks and can be used as a feature tree to show off its spectacular shop by being planted on its own.  This sophisticated tree may lose its thorns over time.

This beauty used to be known as Acacia sieberiana, but these plants are now thought of as distinct.  Bee farmers love placing beehives in this tree and many bees feed on its flowers.
