One reference said zone 10. Means- so to speak- a warm winter and dry z10 like socal or Arizona or deep South Texas. Its habitat straddles a thin band on the equator. Its not like a New Zealand Acacia for sure.

It seems there isn’t a whole of information online about this tree other than in its native habitat.I found out from a member of another board that it exists in Tucson(University of Arizona campus), meaning it likely can handle a dry mid to high teens.

Apparently Acacia has been broken up. This tree now falls under Senegalia, So Senegalia Senegal
