Acacia victoriae
Also called Bramble Wattle, Elegant Wattle, Prickly Wattle, Royal Acacia, Alupa, Bohemia, Gundabluey
Bramble acacia is a spiny, shrub-like tree from arid and semiarid Australia, grown mainly for drought tolerance and wildlife value. It needs full sun, excellent drainage and very little water once established.
Acacia victoriae, commonly known as elegant wattle, bramble wattle, prickly wattle, gundabluey, gundabluie or bardi bush, is a shrub-like tree native to Australia. There is a single subspecies: A. victoriae subsp. arida Pedley.
Acacia victoriae is found in arid and semiarid areas, generally in alkaline soils including clayey alluvials, grey cracking clays and saline loams on floodplains, alluvial flats, rocky hillsides and ridges. Animals such as birds and small mammals are known to use the tree as protection. The seeds and foliage also offer a source of food to animals.
