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.
