Acacia
Acacia is a large genus of over 1300 species of deciduous or evergreen trees, shrubs or climbers that are prized for their feathery foliage and showy blooms. Fast-growing, these native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world are distinguished by their small, often fragrant flowers, which are borne in compact clusters at the branch tips. Fast-growing, they are relatively short lived (20 to 30 years) but require little care, are usually pest free, deer resistant, tolerate poor and dry soils, and increase the beauty of the garden.
