White Bark Acacia is a striking, large thorny tree, often reaching up to 30 to 36 meters in height and a diameter of 80-100 cm. Its pale bark and thorny branches make it easily recognizable. This tree is well-adapted to dry regions and has deep cultural and ecological significance.
The White Bark Acacia produces distinctive yellow, green, or brown seed pods, which are flat and fairly straight/circular. Its pods provide nourishment for wildlife, while the hardy wood is often used locally for fuel and timber.
Did you know? White Bark Acacia is not only valuable for its wood and uses in local crafts but also plays a key role in soil conservation in arid regions. Its presence enriches the ecosystem by supporting various species and preventing soil erosion. 🌱
