Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Heathland
Is it correct to say that "Heathland" or "Heath" would include the acacia tree (seyal)? Thank you! Garry
Answer
"Heath" also known as Erica is a member of family Ericaceae which is the plant family that dominates the Heathland of Great Britain and Australia along with several other locations around the globe. Acacia is a much larger woody species and is a member of the family Fabaceae which is a thorny pod bearing tree and shrub which come from Australia and other temperate locations.
