Description:
Emerald Curl is a small Australian tree with an attractive habit of lush fine curling foliage. This selected form of Acacia cognata with its weeping curling feathery tactile leaves creates a very soft effect on the landscape. Soft pale yellow wattle flowers appear in early spring, after flowering can be tip pruned to encourage a denser habit. The natural lush curling foliage of this small tree is a great asset in creating a cool environment; it is an excellent choice to use for large landscapes and small gardens. Grows to approx 3-5m tall.
