Unit price perAcacia dealbata (Silver Wattle)
A fast-growing and highly adaptable Australian native tree valued for its graceful silvery-blue foliage and spectacular displays of fragrant golden-yellow flowers through late winter and early spring. Reaching up to 8 metres in height, Silver Wattle is a classic pioneer species, helping to stabilise soils, improve fertility through nitrogen fixation and provide shelter for wildlife. Popular in permaculture systems and natural regeneration projects, it is often associated with the "Morishima Wattle" referenced by Japanese natural farming pioneer Masanobu Fukuoka for its vigorous growth and soil-building qualities. The flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, while the foliage provides habitat and shelter for birds. Hardy, drought tolerant once established and suited to a wide range of climates.
