ACACIA eremaea 5g
Family: Fabaceae
Characteristics: shrub 1 to 5 metres
Seed per packet: Approx. 30
Seed per gram: Approx. 70
Acacia eremaea is a dense shrub or tree that typically grows to a height of 1.2 to 4 metres. It produces spherical yellow flowers in groups of two to four in the axils, which are densely packed with golden-coloured flowers from July to October.
Instead of true leaves, it has phyllodes, which are elongated leaf-like structures. The evergreen phyllodes are elliptic-lanceolate to narrowly elliptic.
After flowering, it forms straight to slightly curved seed pods that are strongly raised over each seed. The pods are globous, up to 9 cm long, and contain glossy brown seeds.
The plant occurs naturally in the Mid-West and Wheatbelt regions of Western Australia. It commonly grows in a variety of soils, including sandy, stony, and clay. It is often found in saline depressions, stony clay flats, and around salt lakes, thriving in clay and clay-loam soils.

The best time to sow Acacia seed is:
Cool climates: September to May.
Temperate climates: September to May.
Sub-Tropical climates: August to May
Tropical climates: September to November or March to May.
Arid climates: August to May.
- soak in water for 24-48 hours.
- Next, soak seeds in near boiling water overnight to help soften the tough exterior and improve germination.
- Sow the seeds to a depth equal to the seed's width.
Germination: Typically occurs within two weeks.
Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to germinate, keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
- The customer should do their due diligence that they are suited to their region.
