Per beneficial features white acacia is valued not only in landscape design but also in medicine and even in cooking. In this plant and leaves, and bark, and flowers, and fruits have many benefits. White acacia is not quite the correct name. It has long taken root in the Russian language. But in fact, this is the name of a tree that simply belongs to the same legume family and has a similar structure of inflorescences. At the same time, it is a false acacia, and its correct name is Robinia. It does not come from Australia, but from North America, from where it came to Paris more than 300 years ago and quickly spread throughout all the countries of Southern Europe.

Acacia, robinia, pseudoacacia - all this is the same plant

Acacia, robinia, pseudoacacia - all this is one and the same plant. It belongs to the legume family. Its characteristic: a good honey plant, the flowers of which have a strong pleasant aroma.

There are several types. The description of Robinia gives such characteristics plants: spreading openwork crown and leaves resembling feathers.

The fruits of the tree are oblong flat pods, inside of which there are seeds (from 3 to 15 pcs.). They ripen in late September or early October and can hang on the tree all winter.

Since the tree belongs to the legume family, the seeds are slightly shaped like beans. They are distinguished by a smooth, shiny dark brown or mottled surface, although an olive tint is also possible.

At one time in Europe, they tried to use them in cooking as legumes, but this did not take root.

White acacia is a very beautiful plant. It is widely used in landscape design. Are used different types. This may be Robinia sticky with its rounded shape and slightly sticky leaves due to the fact that they have a lot of glandular hairs. Flowers can be white or pink-purple. Another popular variety is New Mexican Robinia. Its main feature is the absence of aroma during flowering, therefore, as a honey plant, it is less valued. But in landscape design it is good, because it is less demanding, drought-resistant and hardy in frost. Pseudoacacia grow well in groups of several trees.

Robinia species differ not only in the color of the buds. The shape of the crown also matters. For example, in Russia and Ukraine, Robinia Umbrakulifera, that is, spherical, is common. However, its crown has the shape of a ball only at the beginning of growth; over time, it gradually acquires some flatness. Her flowers are healing.

It is interesting that black acacia also exists in nature. But it blooms with white flowers. But her seeds are black, and the wood is valued as a raw material for the production of furniture and has a dark tint. It is found only in Australia.
