Senegalia wrightii (syn. Acacia wrightii), Wright acacia, is a small semi-evergreen tree characterized by fragrant white flowers, fine pinnate foliage, prickles, and green legumes. It is mostly found in dry soils and thrives in full sun and low water environments. The tree is highly drought tolerant and multi-stemmed in form.
Stems armed with hooked prickles, susceptible to invasive shot hole borer.
We had decent germination with hot water scarification and sowing in a warm greenhouse in January. Seedlings show moderately-paced growth and multistemmed habit.
