So many of my Brother Freemasons would not admit this about the acacia, but all of our symbols have multiple meanings. An acacia will bloom from a dropped sprig, just like a weeping willow, or even a mulberry and bamboo do the same. So I asked myself why we use the acacia in the MM degree, why is it placed at the head? Not for the same reasons any evergreen can be used in burial and that is placed over the heart...... Glad to see more people with some knowledge posting under #freemasonry . So far it is a few brethren and a few of what I call the "tin-foil hats."
