Acacia saligna SEEDS

Description

Acacia saligna seeds grow into a vigorous, fast-growing wattle native to the subtropical biome of south-western Western Australia, where it is one of the most widespread species in the genus. Known as the golden wreath wattle or Port Jackson wattle, it develops a weeping, graceful habit with long, narrow, willow-like blue-green phyllodes (modified leaf stalks) and spectacular cascades of large, bright golden-yellow flower clusters in late winter and spring one of the most floriferous and ornamentally bold wattles in cultivation. It grows to 48 m as a shrub or small spreading tree. Family Fabaceae.

Acacia saligna is exceptionally drought-tolerant, fixing atmospheric nitrogen and tolerating poor, sandy and degraded soils, making it a valuable pioneer species for revegetation and stabilisation. It grows rapidly from seed and thrives in full sun.
