Just an update. A long lost pal from Spain has suddenly re-surfaced
and when the question was asked he immediately hit on the right name.
It is the 'Black Wattle' - Acacia mearnsii. I wish I could hit my
forehead and say "Duh! I knew that" because it's not a rare thing by
any stretch of the imagination.


Thanks, David - as usual, you've come up with the goods. That certainly
looks like it though some Google pics show it as yellow but the Alien
Invaders site certainly shows it. Heaven knows how we got it - must have
slipped in with a shipment of A. dealbata, I suppose. It will be
interesting to see how it does here and if it becomes the invasive weed it
is elsewhere!
