African Acacia
African Acacia refers to a diverse group of drought-tolerant trees and shrubs native to Africa, known for their iconic, often umbrella-shaped canopies and thorny branches. These plants thrive in arid and semi-arid environments, playing a crucial role in ecosystems by providing shade, shelter, and food for wildlife. Acacias are also valuable to humans, supplying timber, traditional medicine, and gum arabic, which is used in food and industrial products. Their ability to fix nitrogen improves soil fertility, making them important for land restoration and sustainable agriculture in African regions.
