Acacia baileyana is a small evergreen tree with domed canopy, it is fast growing but short lived (8 - 15 years).
It bears pollen rich, fluffy stamens of brilliant lemon yellow colour in June to August depending on latitude and exposure to cold winds. The small compound leaves are silver grey with a feathery look.
Cootamundra Wattle prefers full sun, it will grow in part shade but will tend to be less dense. It is tolerant to frost, 3rd line salt and once established drought.
Adds winter colour to a native garden and for the remainder of the year the foliage is great for contrast colour.
