Acacia stenophylla
Acacia stenophylla, commonly known as the shoestring acacia, is a species of Acacia native to Australia. It is an evergreen tree that can grow up to 20 meters tall with a rounded crown. The tree has pendulous branchlets and dark-grey to blackish bark. The phyllodes are strap-like, 15–40 cm long, 2–10 mm wide, straight to slightly curved, slightly rough, free from hair or very finely puberulous, acute to acuminate, apex is often strongly curved. The flowers are creamy-white to pale yellow in color, spherical and 6–9 mm in diameter. The pods are moniliform, up to 26 cm long, 8–12 mm wide, woody-leathery textured, smooth except micro-puberulous between seeds. The tree is highly salt tolerant and moderately frost and drought tolerant.
Planting: Acacia stenophylla prefers well-drained, sandy loam soils with a pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Plant the tree in moist, well-drained soil in an area that gets full sun.
Watering: Water regularly but sparingly during the growing season. Do not overwater, as Acacia stenophylla is a fairly drought-tolerant plant.
