Last week’s bike ride was out to the wadi where “my” acacia seedling is struggling to survive. I was very satisfied to see that, with the cool winter weather, the plant has become green and seems to be doing well. On my last visit, during the scorching summer months, the seedling looked totally dried out and dead, and I wasn’t sure it would pull thru. We haven’t had any rainfall yet, just the lower temperature was enough to allow the plant to start growing again. These thorny buggers have eons of evolution behind them, so I guess they know how to deal with the arid season. I’ll visit again later during the winter and take measurements.
