The tree varies from 3 to 25 m in height, with a trunk diameter of 0.6 to 1.8 m.〔(World Agroforestry Centre )〕 It is not listed as being a threatened species.〔 == Uses == ''Acacia sieberiana'' is valued largely as a source of forage, medicine and wood. The inner bark is a source of fibre purposes such as stringing beads〔). The gum is edible) and both livestock and game animals browse the tree and feed on the dropped pods, spreading viable seeds in their dung. The flowers of the tree make good forage for bees and bee hives are put directly in the trees to exploit the resource.〔 The leaves of the tree commonly release toxic chemical compounds when the tree has been heavily browsed, some of the compounds may release hydrogen cyanide when ingested, which may be lethal to cattle. They fallen pods and foliage can provide lifesaving forage during dry times of the year.〔 The gum of the tree is used as food, as an adhesive, and as an ingredient in making ink. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Acacia sieberiana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
