this is a False Acacia tree that my mother grew from seed, it was in one of those Bonsai kits! So this is my Bonsai!!! It hangs with white scented flowers that are same shape as wisteria (well to me anyway)

I've got 3 of these overhanging my garden. They are very common here in Hungary, and the countryside is covered with them. In May the whole country smells powerfully of the blossom. The Hungarian nams is Akacs.

Yes they are heavily scented aren't they? the problem here is the collared doves love the flowers and peck at them!!!

Just love this tree. Shame we don't see them more often in UK.

I love it as i used to live in Zambia and the shape reminds me of trees there, hence the name i suppose False Acacia as opposed to just Acacia!!!

Do you think you should have pruned it?!

i could have i suppose but i love the shape, it needs a couple of branches cutting back now, but otherwise i am leaving it
