Cinnecord

The Cinnacord (Vachellia choriophylla) is a rare and incredibly unique 15 to 20-foot large shrub or small tree, native to Key Largo. It can quickly grow as a large shrub forming a naturalized thicket, or it can be trimmed to a single trunk. The texture is lacy and the showy fragrant, yellow, pom pom style flowers in the spring are outstanding. Cinnacord is a nearly thornless relative of Sweet Acacia and will tolerate salt air and droughty drained soil. Plant for interest as a specimen or border plant.
