Cootamundra Wattle (Acacia baileyana)

Cootamundra Wattle is a fast-growing evergreen tree known for its beautiful, silvery-blue foliage and bright yellow, fragrant flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring. This iconic Australian native is ideal as a feature tree, in windbreaks, or for erosion control, bringing a burst of colour to the landscape. Thriving in full sun, it prefers well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established, making it well-suited to a variety of garden settings. Low-maintenance and hardy, Cootamundra Wattle reaches a height of 5–8 m with a spread of 4–6 m, providing year-round interest and resilience in your garden.
