Black Wattle

Callicoma serratifolia

“A large spreading shrub ( usually about 4-5m high but can be 10-15m high ) with wattle like flowers” – NPOS p.157

Black wattle is not an Acacia so it’s not a true wattle. It got the name because it’s flowers are similar to the flowers common to wattle trees. The first wattle and daub houses in the colony of NSW were made from the branches and timber of the black wattle.
