Acacia pendula, known as the Weeping Myall or Boree Wattle, is an incredibly hardy and long-lived wattle from the Fabaceae family. With pendulous spreading branches and small yellow flowers in winter, the beautiful silvery-grey slender foliage hangs down from the branches making it perfect as a medium-sized shade tree in the garden. Underpruning will add to its whimsical nature although it will naturally take on a weeping form. A park bench beneath the tree and some other smaller native varieties planted around it would make for a sophisticated native garden. It is an excellent choice as a street tree or an avenue planting. Soil: Thrives in free-draining native soil but has traditionally been found growing well in clay and loam soils. Conditions: Full sun. Both drought and frost-tolerant, minimal watering once established. Size: Height 6-10m x width 6-8m
