Hey peeps, just wondering what this acacia is: Location: South Coast NSW Flowering: Now (Winter) Phyllodes: Quite wide, 20-30mm Seed Pods: Specimen too young, no signs of pods in the litter or on the tree.
I'm thinking Sophorae, as it grows wild down here amoungst the sand dunes. I am not far from the sand dunes (40 meters). This acacia has popped naturally from rain water or bird droppings in our backyard. Wouldn't be longifolia I don't think, the phyllodes seem too wide. I need to actually cut the thing down (at least to a trunk) to let more light through and locate a buried storm water pipe that needs extending. If it is Sophorae, then it's safe to remove isn't it, no big loss there... ?
