Thorny tree

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acacia

'thorny tree' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for acacia that I've seen before include "Plant like wattle" , "Flowering shrub of the pea family" , "Spiny tree of warm climates" , "Australian tree" , "Wattle genus" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
