| This upright and fast-growing Wattle grows to about 3 m high by 2 m wide. Like many others, this Wattle has phyllodes instead of leaves to help control water loss in hot, dry weather. The phyllodes are 7 – 25 cm long; narrow, thin, pointed and bright green. Its golden-yellow flowers are rod–shaped and about 2.5 cm long, being produced near the ends of the branches. After flowering, narrow and flat or convex seed pods are produced. It prefers full sun and is tolerant of limestone soils. ts heavy and durable timber has been widely used as farm fence posts, as well as in making various Aboriginal weapons. When freshly cut, the fragrance of its wood is like that of raspberry jam. 20 Seeds Germination: 5-15 days Pre-treatment: Pour just-boiled water over seeds in a container and soak for 24 hours.
