Description:
Acacia baileyana is a small tree from 3-10m high. It has bright yellow rounded flowers that bloom in late winter to spring providing a mass display of gold to the landscape. The foliage has silvery grey fern like bipinnate foliage and a smooth, greyish brown bark. It is a very hardy tree suitable to a wide range of climates. The plant has a tendency to become naturalised and is now considered to be an environmental weed in many areas. For this reason it should not be grown in areas anywhere near natural bushland.
