Willow Acacia

Acacia Salicina

This tough, thornless Australian evergreen really loves the heat and is considered one of the cleaner trees for use around pools and near walkways, where its graceful weeping form can be showcased. It gives excellent shade and serves well as a tall screen, while also being a perfect selection for street-sides, medians, natural areas, and even smaller garden spaces or patios. Willow Acacia brings charming movement to your garden with its grey-green foliage that elegantly flows in the breeze, and with the fluttering butterflies who frequent the fragrant puffball flowers nearly year-round.
