This very popular garden wattle with fine, silvery-grey feathery foliage and masses of soft balls of golden flowers is an Australian native plant now invasive outside its natural region.

Seeds spread by ants and humans rapidly germinate. There is a high danger it will cross pollinate with the already endangered Downy Wattle (Acacia pubescens), putting it at further risk of extinction.

Cootamundra wattle is native in central western NSW and it is important to preserve this tree within its natural range.

Bushy 7m tree with fine, darkgreen leaves, bronze tips in spring and perfumed, pale lemon to golden flower balls. Suits a variety of soils with good drainage.

A medium growing Australian native tree often reaches 10m in height. Prefers a site with good moisture and makes a very effective screen. The highlight is when the plant comes into flower late spring to summer. It is covered in masses of white fluffy flowers in cylindrical spikes. This tree makes a truly spectacular addition to any garden.

This is a beautiful large pendulous shrub which grows to 6m in height. It has interesting branches that form a 'zigzag' pattern and hold large lanceolate phyllodes (modified stems that look like leaves). The plant is covered in masses of small yellow ball type flowers in late winter to spring. This Acacia is tolerant of dry conditions but frost tender.
