Most unlike Raspberry Jam in appearance, this wattle has spikes of golden-yellow blooms along its stems from July to October. Varies in habit from a large shrub to a small tree, it will grow from 2 – 10 m high by 3 – 5 m wide depending on the local soil and growing conditions. It tolerates gravely, sandy and clay soils, and is lime and moderately salt tolerant. Prefers semi-shade to full-sun.
