Flower arrangers will be jigging with joy at the sight of this beautful native wattle tree. Fine feathery foliage in shades of silver and plum, and lemon-yellow pompom flowers, make this a very attractive (if somewhat informal) tree. Can be cut hard back to encourage new growth and keep it shrub-shaped.
