Acacia denticulosa

Description

A rare and ornamental shrub 6-12' from Western Australia. The leaves are wavy and lightly toothed, feel like sandpaper and are a deep green. Deep yellow rod-like flowers appear in spring. Recently had success with propagating from seed and the book says can be grown by cuttings. Tip pruning will promote a bushier shrub. Would be an unusual plant for any plant collector. Grows best in sandy soils.
