Murray Fagg , ANBG Acacia pravissima F. Muell.
New growth is often very bronzy or reddish, especially in the cooler weather of winter.
This easily grown and adpatable tree, a perfect size for small city gardens, is not as well know as it should be. Graceful pendulous branches with small triangular phyllodes edgewise to the stems. Frost and drought tolerant. UC Santa Cruz Arboretum has selected a very interesting decumbent form which they call 'Green Dragon' , which makes a dramatic, undulating. Similar to the more widely known Knifeleaf Acacia, A. cultriformis , which is not as tall and is more wide-spreading, and with bluer foliage and a less floriferous display.
