Acacia fasciculifera
Also called Scrub Ironbark, Rosewood, Ironbark Acacia, Rose Spearwood, Scalybark, Scrub Ironwood
Rose Wattle (Acacia fasciculifera) is a native Australian tree from eastern Queensland, reaching about 10 m with a dense canopy and pendulous branchlets. It is grown mainly for its shade and form in the landscape, and it does best in a warm, seasonally dry tropical or subtropical climate.
Acacia fasciculifera, commonly known as scrub ironbark, rosewood, rose wattle, or scaly bark, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to Queensland, Australia. It is a tree with pendulous, glabrous branchlets, narrowly oblong to narrowly elliptic phyllodes, spherical heads of creamy-coloured flowers and linear, thinly leathery pods.
Scrub ironbark is mainly found from near Boonah in the south up to near Rockhampton with a few scattered populations further north to near Bowen. It is found on ridges and along creeks in Eucalyptus forest, or with Brigalow (Acacia harpophylla).
