Acacia
podalyriifolia * Pearl Acacia |
Acacia podalyriifolia
might be called temperamental, but I think it is worth growing.
The Pearl Acacia is
short-lived, and susceptible to root-rot if you provide more water more than
Acacia podalyriifolia might think is appropriate. Not much water is
required once Acacia podalyriifolia is established. The Pearl Acacia
will flop if it does not get some support. The most successful Pearl
Acacia that I have cared for
leaned on an adjacent pepper tree. The Pearl Acacia is most rewarding as the leaves are
a beautiful soft pearl white and the February bloom is worthy of its gemlike name.
Acacia podalyriifolia trees should not be allowed to become too leggy as they will often
break themselves down when flowering. The blooming branches of
Acacia podalyriifolia make a
great addition to flower arrangements.
