This Acacia was full of flower buds...it too bad it wasn't
blooming yet. Photo taken at Quail B. G. on Dec. 1, 2009.

Is that the trunk on the right ?
The tree leans across to the left ??
I like the silvery white colour, are the stems/leaves spiny ?

The trunk on the right is a different tree.

The trunk is difficult to see and is pretty
thin. This tree is not spiny at all. What
appears like little spiny-type things you
see on the tree are the flower buds.

Does it get bushy rather than tall ?

I'm guessing it would eventually become a large
tree...however, I've never seen this variety of Acacia
before. I'll have to come back next year to see how
fast it will grow. Most Acacia trees grow extremely
fast to 30+ feet /10+ meters tall within 3 or 4 years.
