A Wattle with various common names such as Glory, Pilliga, Golden, and Mudgee Wattle, this Acacia species is native to Australia. This fast-growing evergreen small tree (10-12' tall and 6-12' wide) thrives and adds attractiveness to the Southern California landscape. Its weeping branches display intricate, feather-like foliage and brown seedpods. From winter to spring, abundant small, lightly scented, yellow, puffy flowers create a visually appealing sight amidst delicate, gray-green leaves. Pruning can enhance shape, foliage density, and flower production. Although not native to California, this Wattle attracts native hummingbirds and insects. Plant it in well-drained soil. Exceptionally resilient and drought tolerant once established. This versatile plant can make a significant ornamental impact in any Southern California landscape.
