Description:
Acacia leiocalyx, commonly known as Black Wattle or Early Flowering Black Wattle, is a versatile Australian native species that is highly valued for its rapid growth and adaptability. Growing to a height of 5–12 metres, it is an ideal choice for revegetation projects, erosion control, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.
This small to medium-sized tree features smooth bark, slender phyllodes (leaf-like structures), and masses of golden-yellow, fragrant flowers that bloom from late winter to early summer. It thrives in a range of environments and improves soil health through nitrogen fixation, making it a popular option for regenerative planting efforts.
