Product Description

Overview:

A very useful large shrub/tree with yellow flowers which regenerates readily after disturbances such as fire.

It is a common species (although it can be quite variable in its form) throughout the Avon and is relied upon by a range of fauna.

Another advantage is its ability to fix nitrogen in soils.

It is a slightly water logging and salt tolerant species as well as very drought tolerant
