I have very tall trees in my yard in Agassiz B.C. that a neighbour (who also has several) told me were acacias. I have searched many books and the web but have found no information about acacia trees in B.C. These trees are thorny and seem to shoot up from underground runners. I have tried digging up small trees and transplanting them to other parts of my yard with no success. Can you help me identify these trees and find more info.
Thank you. I have found photos on the web and my trees do seem to be Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia'. Difficult to get a good photo as they are so tall.
One of the other common names for black locust is false acacia. Leave out the "false" and then it becomes "acacia."
