Product Description
Assuming the shape of its name, acacia trees give shelter to many grassland dwellers. Found in many different forms throughout plains, acacias are unique trees that serve many different functions. As they grow and mature, these legumes give back to the soil, making it more fertile than it was before. In providing food, the limbs of Umbrella Acacias make way for leaves as well as clusters of flowers. This way, these trees are valuable to both herbivores and insects. One interesting thing that the acacia does for insects is to provide a dwelling and a food source. Along the branches, there are pods and sticky sap for ants. In turn, ants protect their provider by annoying animals who come to feed and by removing strangling vines who come to stay.

I will begin by admitting that I am a 52 year old man that collects these toys. I own a large collection of African animal figures from Schleich, Safari Ltd., Bullyland, Papo and CollectA. This tree is such an incredible staging piece that it seems to animate the animals that are placed around it. As with the other Schleich trees, the Umbrella Acacia is nicely detailed and very realistic. The tree requires assembly for which there are no instructions. This is not a problem as it is simple enough to figure out. Even though it is relatively durable, this tree would only be suitable for a child who is old enough to appreciate and care for their toys. Of course I highly recommend the Acacia to all adults who are pandering to their inner children. Schleich trees tend to be relatively expensive with the Acacia being among the priciest. That being said, I believe that there is good value here in something that fuels the imagination of young and old alike.

I purchased this model because my children like to play with Schleich animals and I thought it would be great to use in a diorama. This tree is one of the most impressive models I have ever seen. It is very solid and exceptionally well made. The tree towers over our Schleich lions. This tree will work well with any 90mm, 1/18 or 1/20 scale figures. I cannot wait to purchase more Schleich trees. This Acacia tree is yet another example of German engineering at its very best.

Purchased for a family member as a Christmas gift, she loved it. She uses it in her sand tray for her therapy practice and, apparently, it's quite a hit!
