Acacia linearifolia, commonly known as Narrow-leaved Wattle, is a perennial shrub or small tree native to sclerophyll forests, woodlands, and heathlands in New South Wales, Australia. It typically grows to a height of 3-18 feet (1-5.5 meters) and a width of 4-10 feet (1.2-3 meters). This species is characterized by its narrow, linear leaves and smooth, grayish bark. During the spring, it produces an abundance of white to cream-colored, spherical flower heads that are highly attractive to pollinators. The flowers are followed by elongated seed pods.

Narrow-leaved Wattle is valued for its fast growth rate and its ability to adapt to a range of soil types, although it prefers well-drained soils. It is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for xeriscaping and low-water gardens. This plant is often used for ornamental purposes, revegetation projects, and as a screen or windbreak due to its dense foliage. It requires full sun to thrive and can tolerate light frosts. Gardeners should be aware that Acacia species can become weedy outside their native range, so care should be taken when planting in similar climates.CC BY-SA 4.0
