Evergreen Plants

Acacia implexa, commonly known as Hickory Wattle or Lightwood, is a fast-growing Australian native tree admired for its graceful form and remarkable adaptability. Growing with a tall, upright habit and an open canopy of slender green foliage, it creates a light, airy presence in the landscape while providing dappled shade. During summer, the crown becomes covered in masses of soft pale yellow, ball-shaped flowers, creating a striking display that attracts bees and other beneficial pollinators. Naturally occurring across a wide range of environments, Acacia implexa is exceptionally versatile and thrives in coastal gardens, suburban landscapes, rural properties, bushland settings, and revegetation projects. Its combination of rapid growth, wildlife value, and year-round ornamental appeal makes it an excellent feature tree for those seeking a hardy native that brings beauty, shade, and habitat to the landscape.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Drought, frost, pollution and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 8-10m x width 4-10m

Acacia howittii, or Sticky Wattle, is a shapely small tree with a natural, gracefully arching growth habit that does not need to be trained into shape. The small dark green foliage is contrasted with fragrant, fluffy, bright yellow flowers in spring. The leaves give off a sticky substance that is aromatic on warm days but it is not good planted close to pathways as it leaves dark stains that are difficult to remove. Acacia howittii is a fast grower and will make a good thick screen and is attractive for its foliage and form. It's also a great option for bonsai enthusiasts. 

Soil: It prefers to grow in moist and well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to partial shade. Drought, wind and frost tolerant.
Size: Height 2m x width 1m
