PLANT PROFILE

The Acacia pycnantha – Golden Wattle is a fast-growing, evergreen native tree (4–8m H × 3–6m W) with upright form, bright green lance-shaped foliage, and dense clusters of golden-yellow flowers from late winter into spring. It looks excellent as a seasonal feature in native gardens, screening rows, or revegetation sites needing fast colour and coverage.

Acacia pycnantha – Golden Wattle thrives in full sun to part shade, adapts to a wide range of soil types, and is drought-hardy once established. Its nitrogen-fixing roots improve soil health, making it well suited for erosion control, habitat planting, and low-maintenance public or residential landscapes.

Low care requirements and strong visual impact make it a standout choice for councils, wildlife gardens, and nature-focused designs.

How to Plant Acacia pycnantha

  1. Select an Appropriate Spot: Prefer areas with abundant sunlight and well-drained soil.
  2. Enrich Soil: Integrate compost to enrich the planting area.
  3. Dig a Hole: Around twice the size of the tree's container width and of equal depth.
  4. Plant: Position the Acacia carefully in the hole, backfill, and firm the soil.
  5. Water Generously: Ensure the tree gets ample water right after planting.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
