Bower wattle, also known as River wattle

Bower wattle is distinguished by its gracefully weeping branches adorned with extremely narrow, bright green phylodes (modified leaves) that measure 1-2 inches long and drip elegantly from its canopy. The bark showcases a striking pattern of long, wide fissures, contrasting dark gray with white. In spring, this species produces delicate pale yellow flowers, emerging in pairs from spherical buds at the phyllode bases on the branch tips. Slightly resinous to the touch, the foliage may exhibit red tinges when new or after frost, eventually maturing to a deep emerald green. Typically, bower wattle achieves a height and width of approximately 20-30 feet (6-9 meters), presenting a rounded silhouette.
