What is the scientific name of those yellow bark acacia trees and where can i get them?
Thank you.
Vachellia xanthophloea formerly Acacia xanthophloea because the Australians claim all Acacias (can you believe that?).
Anyway just go KEFRI Muguga/ or/ Tree Bio-tech in Karura (entry via Kenya Forestry HQ opposite CID Kiambu road) ask for 'Naivasha Acacia'.
Also called yellow barked acacia/fever tree/Murera(kikuyu)/ Olerai(maasai). Faily easy to grow from seed and are very fast growers. You also won't walk barefoot on your lawn as they keep dropping the thorns.
Thank you @Amorphous,
Want to plant kidogo on my 'ranch' huko greater DC (Kajiado) for my weekend getaways where i'll be keeping some goats/sheep.
Just seeing this. You should be thanking kawi254 for the nice answer.
Sounds like a plan. Mimi I am planting Cypress like a nonsense.
When harvesting time comes unipate kwa my lumberyard selling 2 by 2's at 28 bob per foot.
One tree alone will be worth hundreds of thousands.
