This wattle is very long lived and is a great tree for a dry, hot spot. It is tolerant of poor soils and really should be used more widely. The foliage is an attractive grey colour and the wattle blossom yellow. Being a native it will brings birds and beetles to your garden. Many are planted in Bennett Street in Forest Hill.
