Do not plant this tree too close to your home. Although I loved having this tree in my yard, (in fact I had two at different times) in a strong (for California, wimpy by much of the rest of the country), my 17-year-old tree lost a very large limb, crashing through the roof, significant damage. The second tree also lost a large limb during a winter storm, fortunately it only damaged a few plants under it.

This acacia grows naturally in a small area of New South Wales, but is one of the most popular species for growing in gardens and parks throughout South East Australia.
It flowers very early, my pictures were taken at the end of July, which is the end of Winter here. It is very spectacular in flower, the whole tree being covered with brilliant yellow flowers. It can produce a lot of seed in some years. Last year gang-gang cockatoos came and fed on the seeds, systematically opening every single seed pod before they were ripe, over a period of two weeks.
