inwould Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Hi all, On a holiday in Nelson I spotted lots of these trees. Unfortunately none were in flower. Older trees seemed to have only the broad phyllodes where as the younger trees seemed to have a mix of pinnate and broad phyllodes. Does anyone have any idea what they might be?

0 waterboy 2.0 Posted March 13, 2017 maybe melanoxylon? shot of the bark would help further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 inwould Posted March 14, 2017 I think melanoxyn looks right, I'm not in the area anymore but if I head back that way I'll get a photo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 solomon Posted March 19, 2017 Plenty of Black Wattle / melanoxyn in the South. That and Acacia baileyana. Have spotted the odd obtusifolia. floribunda are prevalent in the North Island and even considered an invasive but I haven't witnessed this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi all,

Does anyone have any idea what they might be?
