Acacia salicina
Willow Acacia Tree Photo Description: Willow Acacia has narrow green leaves and a weeping appearance, making it ideal for use around water features or in oasis zones. Fast grower. Willow Acacia is taller and more narrow than most desert trees, reaching a mature size of 40' tall by 20' wide. Fragrant, creamy white puffball flowers may appear anytime during the year, but are most abundant in the spring months.

Maintenance: Willow Acacia Tree requires relatively little care and can withstand long periods of drought. It does not require supplemental fertilizer. Water established trees sparingly. Deep, infrequent irrigation helps to develop a strong anchoring root system. Yearly pruning to thin the canopy reduces wind resistance.
