Golden Mimosa

A large evergreen shrub or small tree, Acacia baileyana is native to Australia and also known as Cootamundra wattle. It produces beautiful clusters of small yellow fluffy looking flowers from late Winter into early Spring. Graceful, delicate, evergreen foliage emerges bluish-green in colour before turning a more silvery-green. Nice Winter colour and good for bees. A worthy addition to any sheltered garden that has a few spare square metres.
