Acacia falcata, commonly known as sickle wattle, is a shrub or small tree to five metres that produces spherical cream or pale-yellow flowers from April to August.
The name “sickle wattle” comes from its pale green or grey-green sickle-shaped phyllodes (leaves)
Thin seed pods follow the flowers, maturing from September to December.
Seed release occurs in December, and it’s dispersed by wind, which attracts the imperial hairstreak butterfly.
Acacia falcata is adaptable to a wide range of soils in cultivation, and its attractive foliage is a horticultural feature.
Occurs naturally from Queensland south through eastern New South Wales to Bermagui on the south coast.
