Acacia cognata * River Wattle

This small to middle sized weeping tree grows to about 15 feet.  Acacia cognata has creamy yellow flowers in the late spring and early summer.   River Wattle can tolerate frost into the 20's and drought.  But will do well with some summer water.  It is a great tree for making a screen or informal hedge.  I consider this a good weeping willow substitute.  There does seem to be a limit as to how long it can stand in soggy soil so Acacia cognata should not be planted in a bog.
