Acacia salicina
 

Fast–growing small tree with drooping branches that occurs naturally in the Alice Springs area. Its height will vary from 4 to 12 m depending on soil type and availability of water. It may sucker to form a copse but this is not problematic in the garden - suckers can be removed if not required. It produces pale yellow flowers after rainfall in the wild, but may be more free-flowering in a garden situation. It is frost tolerant.
