| Acacia celastrifolia is, as its common name implies, a ‘glowing’ wattle with rich yellow blooms that make winter bushland a delight from April too when grey skies can predominate. Its species name of celastrifolia is derived from the Greek celastrus, meaning holly-like or privet-like and folia, meaning leaves. Western Australian species, it grows 2-4m high by 1.5-2m wide. It needs well drained soil and partial to full sun. This Acacia prefers shelter from strong winds and is suitable for sheltered coastal planting. Light pruning is recommended. 20 seeds Germination: 5-15 days Pre-treatment: Pour just-boiled water over seeds in a container and soak for 24 hours. Sow swollen seeds, re-treat others.
