Description:
Acacia implexa, commonly known as the Hickory Wattle or Lightwood, is a hardy Australian native prized for its versatility and drought tolerance. This tall, free-flowering shrub or small tree thrives in diverse environments, from coastal regions to dry inland areas. Its round, pale yellow blooms appear during summer, attracting birds, bees, and other pollinators, making it a perfect choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
The tree features distinctive twisted seed pods and striking sickle-shaped phyllodes, adding texture and interest to any landscape. Growing up to 15 metres in height, the Hickory Wattle is ideal for creating shade, windbreaks, or privacy screening. Additionally, its nitrogen-fixing roots contribute to improved soil health.

- Sow seeds: Place pre-treated seeds on top of the soil and gently press them down, covering lightly with a thin layer of soil.
