Acacia granitica, granite wattle, is a multistemmed shrub of eastern Australia, growing up to about 3 m with golden yellow spring flowers. It grows naturally on granite outcrops and sandstone in shallow, well-drained soils and tolerates frost and snow.
Acacia granitica commonly known as granite wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a multistemmed, erect or often low-lying shrub with linear, leathery phyllodes, spikes of golden yellow flowers and straight pods, slightly constricted between, and raised over the seeds.
This species mainly grows in north-eastern New South Wales near Bendemeer, Torrington and Guyra on granite outcrops in shallow sandy soil and also on sandstone in eucalypt forests, sometimes in heath or near creeks north of Grafton New South Wales to Crows Nest in Queensland. It tolerates poor drainage, frost and snow.
