Israeli babool

[Anand Kumar Bhatt]

there is a tree called Israeli Babool. I saw it long time back with Gujarat forest Dept. Sorry, I don't have a phhotograph. It might as well be known by some other name. If somebody gives me some more info about it, I shall be grateful.

Thanks Tabish. I don't know what is the success rate of this tree in India and whether it is any better than acacia nilotica, our own native babool. I will be grateful for any further information.

I don't know much. But it seems to have survived in too dry and too
rocky areas where our native babool doesn't do well.
