| |
− | The '''Cootamundra Wattle''' is a [[shrub]] or [[tree]] in the [[Fabaceae|Family Fabaceae]]. The Latin name of the species honors the [[botanist]] [[Frederick Manson Bailey]]. It is but one of nearly 1000 species of ''Acacia'' found in [[Australia]]. The Cootamundra Wattle is indigenous to a small area in southern [[New South Wales]] but has been widely planted in other Australian states. In many areas of [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] Cootamundra Wattle has become naturalised and is regarded as [[weed]], outcompeting indigenous Victorian species.

| |
− | Almost all wattles have cream to golden flowers. The small flowers are arranged in spherical to cylindrical [[inflorescence]]s, with only the [[stamen]]s prominent. Wattles have been extensively [[introduced species|introduced]] into [[New Zealand]] and are regarded by many New Zealanders as one of the most typical features of their home landscape.

| | | |
| ==Cultivation== | | ==Cultivation== |
− | This plant is adaptable and easy to grow. Unfortunately it has an ability to naturalize (i.e. escape) into surrounding [[bushland]]. Also, it hybridizes with some other wattles, notably the rare and endangered [[Sydney Basin]] species ''[[Acacia pubescens]]''.

| | | |
− | A prostrate weeping form is in [[cultivation]]. The fine foliage of the original Cootamundra wattle is grey-green, but a blue-purple foliaged form, known as 'Purpurea' is very popular.
