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.
