Acacia burrowii
Also called Currawong
Burrow's wattle is a tree in the pea family, native to eastern Australia, with grey ribbony bark and golden spikes of flowers in winter and spring. The sources describe the wild species; growing it requires full sun and well-drained soil, and it is not a common garden plant.
Acacia burrowii, commonly known as Burrow's wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a tree with ribbony, grey bark, leathery narrowly elliptic to very narrowly elliptic phyllodes, spikes of golden yellow flowers, and linear, glabrous, thinly leathery to crust-like pods.
This species of wattle grows in woodland and forest, sometimes in dense scrub, often on stony hillsides in north western New South Wales and south eastern Queensland. It is found on the plains between Cobar and Nyngan and north to Yetman and the Pilliga Scrub. In Queensland it occurs from around Goondiwindi and Moonie and north to around Eidsvold.
