Acacia decurrens (Green Wattle)

A vigorous and fast-growing Australian native tree valued for its ability to quickly establish shelter, improve soil fertility and provide habitat for wildlife. Reaching around 5 metres in height, Green Wattle is a nitrogen-fixing pioneer species commonly used in windbreaks, orchard systems, revegetation projects and permaculture plantings. Its finely divided green foliage creates a soft, feathery appearance, while masses of soft yellow flower clusters appear from winter into spring, attracting bees and other beneficial insects. Hardy and adaptable, it performs well across a wide range of soil types and is particularly useful for providing rapid protection to slower-growing trees and shrubs.

Planting / Sowing
Seed should be scarified prior to sowing by pouring hot (not boiling) water over the seed and allowing it to soak for 12 to 24 hours. Sow into a free-draining seed raising mix and lightly cover. Keep moist but not waterlogged during germination. Position in full sun for best growth. Transplant seedlings once established, taking care to minimise root disturbance. Well suited to windbreak plantings, orchards and regeneration projects. Approximately 2 to 4 years to flowering.

Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
