Acacia schaffneri
(Twisted Acacia)
is native to Mexico and
south Texas. The mature
branching structure has
a striking twisting
pattern within the tree
canopy. A very
interesting unique look
for a tree. The leaves
are small fine fern like
with a straight 1/2 to 1
inch reddish thorn.
Colder winters it can be
deciduous and is much
more hardier than the A.
smallii (farnesiana).
The yellow fragrant ball
flowers along the
branching structure. A
young tree looks a
little weedy or wild
needing selective
structural pruning until
establishment. |
