About Your New Acacia pendula Weeping Myall

Acacia pendula, the Weeping Myall, is a graceful, long-lived Australian native valued for its soft silver-grey foliage and elegant cascading form. The fine weeping branches give it a quiet, sculptural presence, and pale yellow ball-shaped flowers appear in spring to support native pollinators.

Weeping Myall grows to 6-10 metres tall and 4-6 metres wide. The refined weeping habit makes it a striking feature tree in dryland and native gardens, along rural driveways, and mass planted in avenue and shelterbelt designs where structure and movement are wanted.

Weeping Myall thrives in full sun and well-drained soils including clay, loam, and sand. Once established it tolerates drought, heavy frost, light frost, periodic waterlogging, and saline conditions, making it one of the hardiest feature trees available for inland and low-input landscapes across NSW, QLD, VIC, and SA.
