Acacia Baileyana (Cootamundra Wattle)

Acacia Baileyana (Cootamundra Wattle) is a striking Australian native tree prized for its soft, silvery-blue fern-like foliage and spectacular display of bright golden-yellow flowers. Flowering in late winter to early spring, this fast-growing ornamental tree brings vibrant colour to the garden when many other plants are dormant. Its graceful form and attractive foliage provide year-round interest, making it an excellent feature tree for residential landscapes, native gardens, and larger properties.

Easy to grow and highly adaptable, Acacia Baileyana thrives in a range of soil types and tolerates dry conditions once established. Its low-maintenance nature, rapid growth, and abundant flowers make it a favourite among gardeners seeking a beautiful, wildlife-friendly tree. The fragrant blooms attract bees and pollinators, while the delicate foliage creates a soft, elegant texture that complements both native and ornamental plantings.
