BLACK MONKEY THORN TREE

Acacia Burkei

 You are bidding on 5 seeds

A fairly hardy, deciduous Acacia that has attractive, round leaflets. Spikes of white flowers from early to mid summer are followed by bright red pods. This beautiful tree gives dense shade but is a little slow growing.  The bark of the Acacia Burkei is attractively fissured and attracts Woodpeckers and Red Billed Wood Hoopoe that probe under the bark for insects.  Grows between 6 and 12m tall.

Sowing: Sow in the springtime. The seeds should be soaked in hot water overnight. This causes the seeds to swell and usually by the next morning, they are ready to be sown.  Seed can be sown in seedling trays using a well-drained seedling medium and then covered lightly.

Locality:  Pretoria.  Date of Harvest:  July 2016
