Acacia baileyana, commonly known as Cootamundra wattle, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to Australia, celebrated for its feathery, blue-grey foliage and vibrant yellow flowers. This fast-growing plant can reach heights of 5-8 meters, forming a dense, spreading canopy. It blooms in late winter to early spring, producing abundant clusters of fragrant, golden-yellow blossoms that attract pollinators. Acacia baileyana thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, demonstrating excellent drought tolerance. Its striking foliage and bright flowers make it a popular choice for ornamental landscaping and erosion control.
