'''''Acacia farnesiana var. farnesiana''''', commonly known as '''huisache''' or '''sweet acacia''', is an [[acacia]] tree or shrub which grows readily when disturbed and is considered to be a nuisance plant. Huisache grows from ten to thirty feet in the [[South Texas Plains]] and [[Edwards Plateau]]. [[Deer]] and [[javelina]] eat its fruit, various birds use the plant for nesting and cover, and insects eat the nectar from its flowers. The [[drought]] tolerant species has pairs of thorns at the base of each leaf.<br />
