Acacia subporosa, commonly known as River Wattle, is an evergreen or semi-deciduous shrub or tree native to riparian zones, open woodlands, and forest edges in Southeastern Australia. It typically grows to a height of 4 to 12 m (13 to 39 ft) with an erect, spreading, or rounded habit. The canopy is low, about 20 to 30 ft (6.1 to 9.1 m) wide, featuring weeping branches with smooth grey or brown-colored bark. River Wattle produces showy, spherical clusters of bright yellow flowers in the spring, which are highly attractive to pollinators.

River Wattle is valued for its ornamental weeping form and vibrant yellow flowers, which add color to the landscape. It is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for xeriscaping and low-water gardens. It can be used for erosion control due to its root system and is also planted as a windbreak or for habitat restoration. In cultivation, it thrives in full sun and requires soils with medium drainage. While it is low-maintenance, it is susceptible to root rot if overwatered and can be affected by shothole borer. Care should be taken to avoid overly wet conditions to prevent root rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
