About this Flowering Dwarf Sweet Acacia Bonsai, 11 Years Old (Vachellia farnesiana)
11 years in training and now 14 inches tall, this dwarf form of Acacia farnesiana comes from tropical America. Its compound leaves divide into very small feathery leaflets of a soft, medium blue-green, so the canopy reads as a haze rather than a solid mass. The stems are slightly rough, coloured a rich chocolate brown to grey, and armed with short, sharp thorns in multiples. Heavy clusters of little yellow puff-shaped flowers open three or four times a year and are strongly fragrant. Suited to indoor culture.
Sweet Acacia bonsai care
This is a living Sweet Acacia (Vachellia farnesiana). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Outdoors through the warm season; bring in as nights approach 45°F
- Light
- Full sun. High light indoors over winter
- Water
- Let it dry slightly between waterings. Drought-tolerant once established
- USDA zones
- 9a to 11 outdoors year-round; container and winter protection elsewhere
- #1 cause of death
- Cold; it drops leaves and flowers whenever it is chilled, and a potted specimen has no reserve
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Sweet Acacia bonsai care guide.
