acacia tree

African savanna fixture

An acacia tree is a thorny tree or shrub found in warm regions, particularly Africa and Australia.

Acacias are known for their feathery leaves, clusters of small flowers, and symbiotic relationships with ants.

The term is slightly redundant since acacia already implies the tree, but acacia tree appears frequently when emphasizing the plant rather than its wood or gum.
