Twisted Acacia, Schaffner's Wattle
Acacia schaffneri
Interesting, twisting growth pattern. Small, green, fern-like leaves and reddish thorns. Fragrant, yellow puff-ball flowers held close to the branches. Attracts butterflies and birds. Young trees spread spiny branches low to the ground. Need selective structural pruning until established to create a good mature shape.
