Acacia erioloba
15 seeds
"Camelthorn"

The beautiful, slow-growing camel thorn grows well in poor soils and in
harsh environmental conditions. It is an ideal shrub/tree for a small or
large garden.
The camel thorn ranges from a 2 m spiny shrub to a 16 m robust tree. The
stem is shiny reddish brown when young. The bark of a mature tree is
grey to blackish brown and is deeply furrowed; bearing pairs of almost
straight, whitish or brown spines. Spines often have swollen bases and
appear at the bases of the leaves. The fully developed spines may be up
to 60 mm long.

The tree bears bright yellow ball-like flowers that are sweetly
scented. They are borne in late winter and last through to summer.

Acacia erioloba can be propagated easily by seeds. The seeds
generally need some treatment to weaken the protective waterproof seed
coat. They can be put into boiling water and then left to soak for a
couple of days until the seed swells. Alternatively the glossy coating
can be lightly sanded before soaking. Seeds may then be sown in a
well-composted, sandy seedling mixture, and kept in a warm and moist
positon. Seeds usually take four to six weeks to germinate. It is also
possible to propagate it with semi-hardwood cuttings, but this is not a
commonly used method. Trees start to flower when about 10 years old.
