About this plant

Maiden’s wattle is a fast-growing local tree with narrow, glossy green phyllodes and sprays of pale cream flowers. It provides useful early canopy in revegetation and a seasonal resource for insects and wildlife. Best in a sunny to lightly shaded position with reasonable drainage and enough room for its developing crown.
