Summer Flowering Wattles?
I am trying to put together a grove of wattles proving the conjecture
that there is always a variety of wattle in flower at any given time of year. I am not actually sure that it is possible to do so in a fixed location. I may have misunderstood the meaning of this as it may take into account the variation of climatic conditions across the continent. I have found four varieties that flower consecutively from about April to January in Perth: Acacia conferta, pentadenia, vestita and teminalis. If anyone knows of varieties that will cover the gap from January to April, or a low growing variety to replace the Acacia terminalis in this scheme, I would be very grateful. Thanks |

Acacia genistifolia is supposed to flower from spring through to autumn. Gets to 1.5-2.5 m high and similar width. Acacia elata flowers mainly in summer. 10-15m high by 7-9m wide. Acacia implexa flowers mainly in summer. 6-9m high by 5-8m wide. Acacia mearnsii flowers sring to summer. 10-15m high by 7-10m wide. Acacia retinodes flowers most of the year and peaks in summer. 5-7m high by 3-4m wide. Look at also Acacia anuera "Christopher Smith" wrote in message d.au...

Look at also Acacia anuera I just discovered a web site, http://www.worldwidewattle.com/ which seems quite encyclopedic, if anyone is interested in anything to do with our national tree. |

Isn't there a site attached to the Australian Botanical Gardens that has a lot of info about wattles? I can't pull up the URL atm. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Life is like a cigarette -- smoke it to the butt." -- Harvie Krumpet |
