Acacia parramattensis, commonly known as Parramatta Wattle, is an evergreen tree native to the open woodlands and forest margins of New South Wales, Australia. It exhibits a moderate growth rate, reaching 6 to 8 meters (20 to 26 feet) in height within five years. The Parramatta Wattle has a bushy habit and produces an abundance of bright yellow, spherical flower heads during the summer months, which are highly attractive to pollinators and beneficial insects.

This species is valued for its hardiness and adaptability to a range of soil types, though it prefers well-drained soils. It is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for low-water gardens and xeriscaping. The Parramatta Wattle is often used for shade in gardens, revegetation projects, and as a screen or windbreak due to its dense foliage. It is propagated by seed, which typically requires pre-treatment to break dormancy. While generally low-maintenance, it is susceptible to borer infestations which can damage the wood and compromise the tree’s structural integrity.CC BY-SA 4.0
