Description

A fast growing dense shrub or small tree 2-6m high, branchlets are often pendulous. "Coojong" is as coloniser species of common occurrence. It has nectaries at the base of the phyllodes which produce a sugary fluid that attract ants. It is thought the ants discourage insects eating the new soft phyllodes. Coojong can be killed by a rust fungus causing brown galls along the stems. Yellow flowers in winter to spring. Butterfly attracting, Carnaby Cockatoo, dieback resistant.
