Summary
Acacia deanei, commonly known as Deane’s Wattle, is an evergreen tree or large shrub native to open woodlands and grasslands of Eastern Australia. It exhibits a spreading to erect habit and typically grows to a height of 1.5 to 7 meters (4 ft 11 in to 23 ft 0 in) with smooth grey-brown to green colored bark. The foliage consists of blue-green pinnate leaves that add a soft texture to the landscape. Deane’s Wattle produces rod-like clusters of bright yellow flowers mainly during the spring and summer months, which are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators.
Deane’s Wattle is valued for its hardiness, rapid growth, and ability to thrive in poor soils, making it an excellent choice for reclamation projects and for controlling soil erosion. It is also used in gardens for its ornamental foliage and cheerful flowers. This species prefers full sun exposure and tolerates low to medium water conditions, thriving in well-drained soils. While it is not typically prone to serious diseases, it can be affected by root rot if planted in poorly drained areas.CC BY-SA 4.0
