Some Acacia Tidbits collected so far: - Giraffes graze on Acacia leaves. - There also Acacia ants too (no Acacia aunt puns please). - The relationship between Acacia trees and the ants is classic textbook example of symbiosis. - The word Acacia originates from the ancient Greek word for Sharp... the trees and bushes have spikes and thorns. - The flowers taste great battered and fried. - Some of the flowers look like fuzzy bright yellow bottle brushes. - The petals of other species are candied in sugar, and used to decorate cakes and pastries. - The tree is the national tree of Polynesia. - Acacia trees can communicate with each other... Really. Ask me about it, I'll explain the scientific work. - The leaves of one species have been used to stun and catch fish for centuries. Please send me a quick note if you have other bits of information about acacia trees!
