Description

Previously sold as Acacia latifolia. Fast growing evergreen shrub/ small tree growing 20' tall and equally wide. Can be used successfully as a screen. Flower heads are narrow, tubular, bright yellow, appearing in winter and are fragrant. It is used for its fast growth and screening use rather than for its bloom. However, it does need ample room to grow. It is not long-lived perhaps 20 years. Also known as: Sydney Golden Wattle. NOTE: If you live on or near a channel, this plant may end up clogging the channel so please consider NOT planting it.
