Wattle Tree


	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---
