Acacia farnesiana
sweet Acacia
Description
Acacia farnesiana, also known as Sweet Acacia or Cassie, is a small, thorny tree or shrub valued for its fragrant, golden-yellow flowers. The flowers are small, spherical, and bloom in the winter or early spring, releasing a sweet, perfume-like fragrance. The leaves are finely divided, providing a delicate appearance. Sweet Acacia is well-suited to warm, dry climates and can tolerate poor soils, making it a good choice for arid regions. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil.
