Acacia xanthophloea (Fever Tree)

The Fever Tree, scientifically known as Acacia xanthophloea, is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to Africa. It is characterized by its smooth, yellowish-green bark that peels off in thin strips. The tree gets its common name from the belief that it grows in areas with a high incidence of malaria. It has a distinct umbrella-shaped crown and produces small, yellow, fragrant flowers. The Fever Tree is a popular choice for landscaping due to its unique appearance.
