Acacia boormanii (Snowy River Wattle) - A fast-growing multi-stemmed shrub to 15 feet tall with thin, graceful, silvery stems/branches and small, narrow gray-green leaves. Bright yellow flowers form in clusters in early spring. Plant in full sun in well-drained to moderately heavy soil where it will withstand some drought, but looks better if watered regularly. Hardy to 10-15 degrees F or less. Tolerates seaside conditions. A good specimen plant that can be trained into a single tree or can form a copse of suckers. 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.
