Acacia dealbata The stunning early flowering Acacia dealbata, mimosa or silver wattle tree. These can now be seen, not just in its native southeastern Australia, but in many warm temperate areas across the world. As milder temperatures move north, so will these beautiful plants. The tree has fern-like, light green foliage and bright acid-yellow flowers that grow in clusters of small round balls.
