I gather their usual habitat is in hot places such as the Middle East

Southern England?

Thank you,

I would expect Acacia to grow in Southern England as I have one
growing in my garden in the North West. I think it's an Acacia
dealbata but I'm not sure.

That's reassuring - thanks. What colour of blossoms does yours produce? I
see there is one variety: dealbata subalpina that grows high up in snowy
mountain regions! Perhaps that's the one you have.
