Acacia georgensis, known as Bega wattle, is a shrub or small tree native to a small area of south-eastern New South Wales, Australia. It grows in thin, rocky soils on exposed ridges and slopes, so good drainage is the key to growing it.
Acacia georgensis, commonly known as Bega wattle, Dr George Mountain wattle or Dr George wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a restricted area of New South Wales, Australia. It is an erect or spreading shrub or tree with corrugated, furrowed or deeply fissured bark, more or less terete branchlets, very narrowly elliptic, sickle-shaped phyllodes, spikes of pale yellow flowers and linear, thinly leathery pods slightly constricted and raised over the seeds.
Bega wattle occurs on the south coast of New South Wales from around Wadbilliga River to Tathra and Bega and extending down the eastern side of Great Dividing Range to around Bemboka, the Yowrie River and Tuross River. It grows in scrub, heath or open dry sclerophyll forest on exposed rocky outcrops, slopes and ridges in thin soils over sandstone, conglomerate or granite.
