Tall native wattle, rare in the wild but popular for gardens as it grows in sun or shade, coastal or inland, frost or drought. It's a weeping shrub rather than a tree, and would make an elegant high privacy screen in native gardens - it doesn't mind a super-hard prune down to a metre or so. It even makes a great bonsai

We love sticky wattle for its adaptable easygoing nature
