The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men. Joel 1:12

Feather Acacia for Medicine

This tree, native to the Mexican tropics, is officially called Acacia pennatula of the Fabacea family. These pics are from one on campus here in Tucson. It has cytotoxic preference for human tumor cells. A pretty tree but too jungly for my future backyard.
