The [[leaf|leaves]] are bipinnate, glaucous blue-green to silvery grey, 1–12 cm (occasionally to 17 cm) long and 1–11 cm broad, with 6–30 pairs of pinnae, each pinna divided into 10–68 pairs of leaflets; the leaflets are 0.7–6 mm long and 0.4–1 mm broad. The [[flower]]s are produced in large [[raceme|racemose]] [[inflorescence]]s made up of numerous smaller globose bright yellow flowerheads of 13–42 individual flowers. The [[fruit]] is a flattened [[legume|pod]] 2–11.5 cm long and 6–14 mm broad, containing several [[seed]]s.<ref name=fa>Flora of Australia Online: [http://www.anbg.gov.au/abrs/online-resources/flora/redirect.jsp ''Acacia dealbata'']</ref> Trees generally do not live longer than 30 to 40 years, after which in the wild they are [[Ecological succession|succeeded]] by other species where bushfires are excluded. ==Cultivation== ''Acacia dealbata'' is widely cultivated as an [[ornamental plant]] in warm temperate regions of the world, and is [[naturalisation (biology)|naturalised]] in some areas, including southwestern [[Western Australia]], southeastern [[South Australia]], [[Norfolk Island]], the [[Mediterranean region]], and [[California]]. ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== [[Image:Kambah Karpet Acacia dealbata.JPG|thumb|Kambah Karpet a variety of ''Acacia dealbata'' discovered at the [[Kambah]] Village.]] Subspecies: There are two [[subspecies]]: *''Acacia dealbata'' ''dealbata''.
