This tree may produce quite a lot o f seed pods(mimosa type, i.e: the pod has sections each containing a single seed) and it is not hard to remove seeds from sections. As the seeds are removed they better be scarified and sowed in containers with sandy substrate also with some organic component, it even self-sows freely so you can accquire seedlings by transplanting them from under a sabiá tree that scattered seed pods under itself but look in the rainy months because seedlings will only come out after some rain. Be careful with thorns.
This tree is from the Brazilian caatinga semi-desert, resistant to drought and thus suitable for xeriscaping, it also does very well in live fencing and because of the thorns also for protective fencing.
