Acacia Glauca
Acacia Glauca tree is a flowering tree with very shiny yellow flowers. The leaves are compound and green. The flowers are often on the tree throughout the year but are more abundant in spring, summer, and autumn. Butterflies are strongly attracted to this tree and also lay their eggs on it.
This plant grows very rapidly, reaching a height of about 7 meters and a width of approximately 3 meters. Its native habitat is tropical Asia and northeast Australia. It grows well in desert conditions under full sunlight and high temperatures if watered.
The flowers are single golden and appear at the ends of the branches most of the year, but in Riyadh, they produce abundantly in winter. Acacia Glauca does not tolerate frost, so it should not be planted in cold locations. If the plant is affected by low temperatures, it quickly recovers and begins flowering in summer.
Pruning is necessary if this plant is used as a flowering fence, a tall single-stem tree, or a plant curtain on a support. If left to grow freely without pruning, it becomes large with thin branches that have smooth olive-green bark.
The evergreen compound leaves can reach up to 35 cm in length, with light green oval leaflets. The long woody pods appear shortly after flowering. The seeds have a hard coat and must be soaked in water to facilitate germination.
This plant is sensitive to water accumulation around the roots, especially if planted in pots. It thrives in slightly alkaline, organic-rich soil with good nutrients. As a leguminous plant capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen, it can supply its own nitrogen.
