Learn About Your New Acacia pendula - Weeping Myall

The Acacia pendula – Weeping Myall is a graceful, drought-tolerant native tree (6–10m H × 4–6m W) with fine silver-grey foliage and a soft, weeping form.

Pale yellow ball-shaped flowers appear in spring, supporting local pollinators.

Acacia pendula – Weeping Myall thrives in full sun and well-drained soils including clay, loam, and sand. Once established, it tolerates drought, light frost, and saline conditions. Low maintenance and long-lived, ideal for low-input landscapes.

Post Planting Care

When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:

  1. Immediately After Planting:
    Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil.
  2. First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
    The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth.
  3. Irrigation Systems:
    If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering.
  4. Weather Considerations:
    Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons.
  5. Ongoing Care:
    After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.

Long Term & Ongoing Care

Caring for Acacia pendula

  • Watering: Regular during early stages; can taper as the tree matures.
  • Pruning: Minimal; shape and remove dead growth as needed.
  • Mulching: Use organic mulch around the base, keeping distance from the trunk.
  • Pests/Diseases: Watch for standard Acacia pests and diseases.

Growing Your Acacia pendula - Weeping Myall in Various Soil Types

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.
