Acacia stenophylla (Shoestring Acacia)

Acacia stenophylla is a medium-sized tree with an upright main trunk and spreading to weeping branches. This tree has the potential to reach a size of 12-16m tall by 8-10m wide, although it can take many years to grow that large. Its long, narrow, dark green leaves look like shoestrings hanging down from the branches. The creamy white flowers occur in rod-like clusters and can appear anytime from fall through spring. Thin, woody seed pods may develop after flowering, but they do not create an unreasonable amount of litter.
