Acacia
siculiformis is known as the Dagger Wattle and is a medium, upright
shrub with narrow prickly phyllodes and pale yellow flowers. Flowering occurs
in spring and early summer. The Dagger Wattle occurs in the Southern and
Northern Tablelands of NSW. This is an unusual wattle because it usually grows
near watercourses and on wetland margins. When cultivated Acacia
siculiformis will also survive and thrive in dry situations. A common
plant in Cathedral Rocks National Park, east of Armidale, where it is confined
to creek banks. The species has also colonised roadside drains in the
Armidale area. Seeds are the accepted method of propagation.
