Description


Acacia constricta. Found in my yard, southern Arizona, USA. The flowers are used to make perfume and they smell nice.

those thorns look tough enough to puncture a tire - now I'm thinking that my sense of scale is off and those thorns are harmless. - perfume that smells nice is a good thing!

Thanks for your comment. I don't know if the thorns are long enough to puncture a tire, but they might be. I have had tires punctured by thorns in the desert. Whitethorn Acacia thorns can be up to 2 cm long. I don't know how thick a tire is. Perhaps you know. I looked at some further information, and it says that the fuzzballs can be 1/2" in diameter. That's about right. That makes those thorns considerably longer than 2 cm, so yes, I think they can penetrate tires. I am very careful, and if there is a branch in the road, I get out and move it before I proceed.
