Acacia baileyana purpurea

Common Name: Cootamundra Wattle - Purple Leaf

5m high x 5m wide. Very fast growing small tree with beautiful grey feathery foliage with purple tinge and bright yellow flowers in Winter. The flowering is often so prolific that it hides the foliage. The plant can seed itself so it is best not to plant it near areas of natural bush land to prevent it from establishing feral populations but in urban areas it makes a magnificent small street tree.
