Acacia saligna is a edible, graceful, fast-growing wattle tree that earns its nickname “The Dream Tree” for good reason. With weeping blue-green leaves and golden yellow flowers that light up winter, it’s both beautiful and tough.
Native to Western Australia, it thrives with zero effort once established. The seeds are edible when properly prepared—used traditionally as a rich, nutty grain. The sweet gum has long been enjoyed as a bush treat. It’s a powerful nitrogen fixer too, enriching the soil and helping other plants grow.
Bees adore the flowers, birds find shelter, and it needs no irrigation once settled in. The perfect set-and-forget tree for Perth.
