| Twisted acacia spreads thorny branches low to the ground. This shrub grows four to twelve feet off the ground. It is native to the Edwards Plateau and the South Texas Plains especially where land has been disturbed. Deer, small mammals and game birds feed on Twisted acacia. Wild and feral hogs eat the seeds. Sheep and goats eat some parts as well. Birds and small mammals use Twisted acacia as a canopy for nesting, roosting, and protection. Other common uses include landscape, xeriscape, as an ornamental, or hedge plant. |
