'''''Acacia floribunda''''' is a perennial evergreen<ref>[http://www.highlandsnsw.com.au/nature/native_flora.html Native Flora of the Southern Highlands]</ref> shrub or tree. It is native to [[New South Wales]], [[Queensland]] and [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], but is cultivated extensively, and has naturalised in [[South Australia]], [[Tasmania]] and [[Western Australia]], and also in [[Indonesia]], [[Mauritius]] and northern [[New Zealand]]. Common names for it include '''Gossamer Wattle''', '''Grossamer Wattle''', '''Weeping Acacia''' and '''White Sallow Wattle'''.<ref name=ILDIS/> It grows up to 6m in height, but there is a commercial form available which only grows to about 1m tall. Its cream-colored flowers occur in the early Spring (August to September in the [[southern hemisphere]]).<ref name="anbg">[http://www.anbg.gov.au/acacia/species/A-floribunda.html Australian National Botanic Gardens]</ref>

In landscaping, '''''Acacia floribunda''''' is very useful for controlling erosion, especially in [[gully|gullies]]. It is also useful as a hedge,<ref name="anbg"/> as a wind breaker, around bogs and ponds and as a shade tree.<ref>[http://www.organicmatters.com.au/acacia-floribun.htm Organic Matters]</ref> It is sold frequently as an ornamental landscaping plant because it is fast-growing and it has many beautiful flowers.<ref>[http://www.uq.net.au/~zzlstein/acacia/acgarden.html Australian Acacias in the Garden]</ref>

The tree is used for its [[nitrogen fixing]] properties by interspersing it with fruit trees.<ref name="abc">[http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s1884872.htm Gardening Australia Factsheet: Permaculture Paradise]</ref>

==Cultivation==

===Propagation===
''Acacia floribunda'' can be propagated from seed by treating the seeds in near-boiling water to penetrate the hard outer seed coating. Alternatively, the outer coatings of the seeds can be sanded down somewhat to allow water in.
