Pearl Acacia, Queensland Silver Wattle, Mt Morgan Wattle, Golden Wattle, Pearl Wattle, Queensland Wattle, Silver Wattle
Fast-growing, Acacia podalyriifolia (Pearl Acacia) is a large evergreen shrub or small tree adorned with silvery-gray round leaves that are satiny to the touch. The foliage remains lovely all year round. In late winter to early spring, masses of scented, fluffy, pale yellow flowers cover the branches and create a striking floral display. Relatively short-lived (10-15 years), Pearl Acacia makes a dramatic statement in the garden. Excellent patio tree.
