Acacia craspedocarpa
Leatherleaf Acacia
This evergreen, thornless shrub or
small tree from Australia has round,
thick, leathery gray-green leaf-like
phyllodes. This erect, compact shrub
grows slowly to 10 to15 feet tall and
wide, and is reminiscent of a large
boxwood. It may be grown as a large
shrub or trained into an attractive
small patio tree. The bright yellow
catkin-like flowers appear spring
through summer, followed by large
flattened seedpods. It performs best
in full sun and reflected heat, and
needs good drainage. It is cold hardy
to 20 º F.
