Acacia... Maidenii. Pretty sure

Question

I'm attempting to learn more about acacia identification so not only can i help out on the forums but also get a good collection going.

This is an extremely aged and sad looking specimen but it has heaps of seedlings growing around it... I want it to live forever :P

I took those photos at the beginning of the year so there aren't any seeds at the moment otherwise i would happily share with anyone, especially you whisperz.

There are like at least 2 seedlings and a few larger offsets near the base though.

Plus its on my property so as long as I'm alive there is no chance of it being removed.

I just really want to ID it.

It looks like Acacia maidenii. Just check that the nerves/veins of the phyllode remain separate all the way to the base - i.e. they don't join to the margin or to each other above the phyllode base.

i checked quite a few leaves and none of them seemed to join. Although i didn't look through a magnifying glass to make sure. Sweet as, well in that case i might root quite a few cuttings and create some great grand children for this beauty.

If anyone lives in or around Brisbane and wants some for free or trade feel free to ask. Or i could probably chuck some in an envelope for those a bit farther away :)

Hey heffa i notice you are in SEQ, are the flowers Golden or White? I have found a few specimens like this but cant tell if there golden yellow flowers or white, those photos look white im just curious what color they are not threw the camera lense.

they are defiantly white, its pretty confusing with some sp cause they seem to have white flowers but the pollen is yellow.

I have seen this tree flower twice in 8 months and it had slightly different flowers each time. But always with obviously white flowers

I think that apart from obtusifolia there are not many other wattles with white flowers..
