Silver Wattles are fast growing native Australian trees with silver foliage and masses of bright yellow, sweet scented flowers in Winter/Spring.
Native to the more Southern parts of Australia, Silver Wattles prefer cool moist conditions and a deep soil to grow into a full tree and reach its maximum height of 10 meters plus. However, this tree has been widely introduced to the Mediterranean and other drier regions, and with less watering simply stays as a smaller tree/large shrub. Withstands multiple soil types, including clay. Frost and snow tolerant, and bird attracting.
