Acacia implexa

Acacia implexa, also known as Lightwood or Hickory Wattle, stands out with its unique, light green foliage and gracefully twisted branches. Found in the shallow, drier soils of open forests, this resilient and fast-growing tree is highly adaptable to a variety of well-drained conditions. It is frost tolerant and thrives under full sun, dappled, or partial shade, making it ideal for reforestation and landscaping projects across Victoria. Acacia implexa helps to stabilize soils and enhance local biodiversity, while its durable wood and attractive, weeping form also make it a popular choice for ornamental use.
