Acacia trees are a diverse group of flowering plants belonging to the Fabaceae family. They are commonly found in warm climates, particularly in Australia, Africa, and South America. Acacia trees are known for their distinctive yellow or white flowers and their feathery leaves, which can be either compound or simple. Many species are adapted to survive in arid environments.
These trees play a vital role in their ecosystems by providing food and habitat for various wildlife. Some species, like the Acacia senegal, are also valued for their gum, which is used in food and industrial applications. Acacia wood is durable and often used in furniture and flooring.
