	~~__NOTOC__{{Plantbox~~		'''''Acacia saligna''''', commonly known by various names including '''coojong''', '''golden wreath wattle''', '''orange wattle''', '''blue-leafed wattle''', '''Western Australian golden wattle''', and, in [[Africa]], '''Port Jackson willow''', is a small [[tree]] in the [[family (biology)\|family]] [[Fabaceae]]. Native to [[Australia]], it is widely distributed throughout the south west corner of [[Western Australia]], extending north as far as the [[Murchison River (Western Australia)\|Murchison River]], and east to [[Israelite Bay, Western Australia\|Israelite Bay]].

It grows up to eight metres tall. Like many ''[[Acacia]]'' species, it has [[phyllode]]s rather than true leaves; these can be up to 25 centimetres long. At the base of each phyllode is a [[nectary]] [[gland]], which secretes a sugary fluid. This attracts [[ants]], which are believed to reduce the numbers of [[leaf-eating]] insects. The yellow flowers appear in early spring and late winter, in groups of up to ten bright yellow spherical flower heads. The fruit is a legume, while the seed is oblong and dark to black in colour.<ref name="Cronk">{{cite book\|url=http://books.google.com/?id=y60B--a5j6gC\|title=Plant Invaders: The Threat to Natural Ecosystems\|author=Quentin C.

Its seeds are distributed by ants, which store them in their nests to eat the seed-stalks. Disturbance of the soil brings them to the surface and allows them to germinate. Seeds germinate readily, and hundreds of seedlings can sometimes be found beneath a single parent tree. It is also extremely vigorous when young, often growing over a metre per year.
