Willow Wattle
A South Australian native that is a dense tall shrub. It can that grow up to 10-13 feet tall. The leaves look like they are willowy, the leaves are purple at the tips. Yellow fragrant flowers emerge in late fall to early spring. The name Acacia comes either from the Greek word 'akazo' meaning "to sharpen" or from the Egyptian word 'akakia', a name given to the Egyptian Thorn, Acacia arabica. The specific epithet comes from the Greeks word 'itea' meaning "willow" and 'phylla' meaning leaf and it is commonly also known as the Willow-leaf Wattle. Plant parts are mildly toxic if ingested!
