Description

The Faidherbia albida, or White Acacia, is a deciduous tree native to Africa and the Middle East, known for its pale bark, spreading canopy, and ability to thrive in arid environments. Growing up to 20–30 meters tall, it features feathery, silver-green leaves and produces creamy white, fragrant flowers in clusters, followed by long, twisted seed pods. This nitrogen-fixing tree is highly valued for its environmental benefits, including soil enrichment and providing shade in agroforestry systems.

Hardy and drought-tolerant, the White Acacia is an excellent choice for erosion control, reforestation, and as a feature tree in dry landscapes.

Specifications:

  • Height: 20–30 meters
  • Width: 15–25 meters (broad canopy)
  • Native to: Africa and the Middle East
  • Foliage: Feathery, silver-green leaves; deciduous
  • Growth rate: Moderate to fast

Conditions:

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained sandy or loamy soils; tolerates poor, nutrient-deficient soils
  • Light: Full sun
  • Water: Low; highly drought-tolerant once established
  • Climate: Thrives in arid, semi-arid, and tropical regions

Additional Features:

  • Flowers and Pods: Creamy white, fragrant flowers followed by long, twisted seed pods
  • Uses: Ideal for agroforestry, shade, windbreaks, erosion control, and reforestation projects
  • Spacing: Plant 10–15 meters apart for standalone growth or agroforestry systems
  • Low Maintenance: Requires minimal care; prune if necessary to manage size
  • Nitrogen Fixation: Enriches soil and improves fertility for surrounding plants
  • Environmental Benefits: Provides shade, stabilizes soil, and supports wildlife habitats
  • Cultural and Economic Uses: Pods serve as livestock fodder; tree provides fuelwood and timber

The White Acacia is a resilient and versatile tree, perfect for enhancing dry landscapes, improving soil health, and supporting sustainable agricultural systems.

FAQ's

How are ex-ground trees prepared for delivery?

All ex-ground trees are carefully dug with their rootball intact to preserve the root system and minimize transplant shock. Each tree is stabilized and treated with specialized solutions to promote health during transit. The rootball is wrapped to retain moisture and protect it from damage, and water crystals are added to provide essential nutrients and hydration for the journey. These meticulous preparations ensure your tree remains healthy and ready for planting, whether it’s traveling across the country or overseas.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery times vary depending on your location and the size of your order. Domestic deliveries typically take 1–2 weeks, while international shipping may take several weeks depending on the destination. Contact us for specific timelines.

Are there minimum order quantities for delivery?

For local and nationwide orders, there are no strict minimums, though delivery costs may vary based on order size. For international orders, a minimum quantity is often required to optimize freight efficiency. Contact us to discuss your needs.

Do you provide installation services?
