Silver Wattle Seed – Acacia dealbata

Description

Silver wattle is one of the fastest growing native trees in Tasmania, with mid grey green feathery leaves. It grows in a slightly rounded conical shape – similar to conifers, up to 30 metres tall. Prolific in flowering with small yellow Acacia flowers in late winter early spring, followed by seed pods in summer.

Good for a quick screen or windbreak, especially in the higher rainfall areas, but will grow in lower rainfall situations as well, just not as large or fast. Good habitat tree attracting lots of pollinator insects at flowering time, including honey bees. Easy to establish on most soils rocketing away after the first year. Good in mixed plantings as it does not ‘out compete other plants.

Package includes over 20 seeds in a recycled package, individually packed and selected. This product includes free postage.

We have been collecting native seed, growing and establishing native trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses since 1992, having personally planted and seeded more than a million native plants in over 500 projects. The shrubs selected are the best mix for the greatest variety of sites to establish habitat and improve properties across Tasmania and medium to high rainfall parts of southern Australia. Once established they are resistant to: short term drought, insect attack & tolerant of fire. They also offer your property protection against wind, heat, pest insect incursions (by building up native insect predators), a level of protection against bushfire by slowing the velocity of winds and seclusion from roads and neighbours.
