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.
