Acacia irrorata

Acacia irrorata, commonly known as green wattle or blueskin, is a fast-growing tree of the legume family (Fabaceae) native to eastern Australia, ranging through New South Wales and Queensland. Mature plants typically reach 5–20 m in height with a slender, often crooked trunk and a smooth to slightly fissured greyish bark that may give the species its 'blueskin' name. As is typical of many Australian wattles in this group, the foliage is bipinnate throughout life, with numerous small pinnae bearing fine linear leaflets giving the canopy a feathery, soft texture. Cream to pale yellow globular flower heads are arranged in axillary or terminal panicles and appear chiefly in late spring and summer, followed by narrow, flattened, leathery seed pods. The species inhabits open forest, riparian zones, and disturbed areas, and is often one of the first colonisers after fire or other clearing events.
