An Ancient Tree

acacia treeRich Heritage
The great Acacia tree, which can be found in all continents, has carved a prominent niche in the annals of history and civilization.  Since ancient times, this full canopied semi evergreen has been used to serve a vast variety of human purposes.

Prehistoric civilizations used its sturdy, hard wearing wood to make clubs, spears, boomerangs and shields.  The Australian aborigines discovered its medicinal purposes and used extracts from its leaves and bark to treat toothaches, wounds and burns.  The early English wove the  Acacia’s rods and twigs and plastered them with mud or clay for fences, walls and roofs.  To this day, the tree is an important source of gum and tannin.

The Acacia played a proud role through biblical times, when it was referred to as “incorruptible wood”.  The Ark of the Covenant the, the table of the loaves of proposition, the altar of holocausts, the altar of incense and the wooden parts of the tabernacle were all made if acacia wood.


Enduring Qualities
Acacia have long been used as a symbol for deep-rooted fortitude and resilience of spirit.  Though they are basically warm-weather trees and normally prefer year round sun, the trees are incredibly hard wearing and adaptable.

Now a protected tree species in many countries, the Acacia was a long, a valuable source of wood in the making of Fine Furniture.  Dark red-brown when new and fresh, it ages to a gleaming ebony and is highly attractive when polished.

Acacia wood is naturally light, yet hardy and durable.  Its heartwood produces natural preservatives that make it unpalatable to insects and resistant to water and other agents of decay.

Acacia's have been known to live through many centuries, unmindful of the changing seasons and the most adverse conditions.  They rise at daybreak unfurling toward the sun.  At dusk they fold up flower and leaf and retire for the night.  They make good shade trees, bearing fruit and flower all year round.  Their proud and regal bearing and their vividly colored blossoms make them attractive additions to any garden.

Through the years, Acacia Home and Garden has drawn encouragement from the trees integrity, utility and longevity.
