I was sold a small tree they called a Silver Wattle. I stuck
it in the yard and forgot it. It is over ten years old now and about
10 or so feet tall.
There was a question recently about this tree. So I took a
picture and enclose it here. I have done no pruning so it has six or
seven small trunks. I think the question was about whether it was a
tree or a bush. My opinion is that it can be either depending on how
you prune it. If you go in and prune out the fattest trunks every
year or two you will probably get a bush. If you choose the largest
trunk and prune off the rest you will get a tree. It is in bloom here
right now. Good luck! ---Chas---
