Acacia umbraculiformis, western umbrella wattle, is a small flat-topped tree from the arid interior of Western Australia, grown mainly as a drought-tolerant ornamental or shade tree. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and resents overwatering.
Acacia umbraculiformis, commonly known as western umbrella wattle, is a tree belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Juliflorae native to western Australia.
It is native to an area in the Mid West, northern Wheatbelt and Goldfields regions of Western Australia. The bulk of the population is found from around Cue and Mount Magnet in the north down to around Koorda in the south and to around Morawa in the west. An isolated population is also known further north around Meekatharra. It is often situated on slopes and hill crests usually over granite or occasionally ironstone as a part of Acacia woodland or shrubland communities.
