Willow Acacia | Drought Tolerant Trees

The Willow Acacia (Acacia salicina) name comes from the fact that as it matures, its foliage weeps from upright branches, providing a similar look to a classic Willow tree. Only Willow Acacias keep their leaves all year while using quite a bit less water then other Acacias.
