The Acacia pendula, known for its cascading foliage, thrives in well-draining soil. Here's how to ensure your Weeping Wattle gets the perfect drainage for optimal growth:

Ideal Drainage: Acacia pendula prefers well-draining soil. If your existing soil is compact, amending it with organic material like compost or composted bark will improve drainage and aeration. This allows for good air circulation around the roots and prevents waterlogging.
Sandy Soil: While naturally well-draining, sandy soil can be prone to nutrient loss. To maintain a healthy Acacia pendula in sandy soil, regularly apply compost or a balanced fertilizer to provide the nutrients it needs.
Clay Soil: Clay soil can retain too much moisture, potentially leading to root rot. To improve drainage in heavy clay soils, mix in sand and organic matter. This creates a more porous structure that allows excess water to drain away and prevents waterlogging.

Acacia pendula - Weeping Myall is expected to grow Approx 30 – 60 cm per year.
