Ovens Wattle

An unusual small evergreen tree with yellow, fluffy, fragrant flowers in late Winter and Spring. Acacia pravissima is also known as the Ovens Wattle, has unusually short toothed foliage, and can often grow in various different forms but is normally pendulous in habit. A good tree for small gardens that will tolerate some coastal exposure; it will also grow in quite sandy soils. This Acacia will brighten up a Winter garden and provide beautiful bright yellow flowers in early Spring.
