Acacia trachycarpa
(Sweet-Scented
Minnieritchie)
is an arid to tropical
Australian tree
ideal for planting in
frost free regions.
Cold damage or death can
occur at temperatures
below 25 degrees F. The
trunk has a curling , 'minni
ritchi' bark texture
with a pine scent very
unique and interesting
for an arid type tree.
The
leaf, made up of soft,
pine needle-like, narrow
phyllodes 1/2 to 2
inches long that are
very graceful in the
breeze. In bloom, during
the spring, a yellow,
rod shaped flower
brightens up the
landscape. |
