Acacia Garden Trees

This rather different little tree has beautifully intricate mimosa like foliage composed of many deep green leaflets, the foliage is evergreen giving interest all year. In late winter and early spring the fluffy pompom like flowers appear, eyecatching bright yellow on colour. A wonderfully exotic looking small tree growing to around 5 metres. Best in a sheltered sunny spot with well drained soil, Acacia Gaulois Astier is well suited to warmer parts of the UK although it could be grown in a large container in colder areas and moved to a more protected area for the winter, perhaps somewhere close to the house where its eyecatching flowers can be appreciated.
