Acacia podalyriifolia - Queensland Silver Wattle

A quick growing tall shrub/small tree to 5m with a bushy habit.  As with many others of this genus, it doesn't have true leaves but phyllodes (flattened stems) which are a striking silvery grey colour.  Gorgeous yellow ball like flowers occur in Winter to early Spring.  This plant is suited to wide variety of climates, even tolerating moderate frosts.  

Cassia brewsterii - Brewster's Cassia / Leichardt Bean / Cassia Pea 

A native medium sized tree with fern like foliage and attractive yellow/orange flowers, some may even have red markings.  These produce pods to 45cm long, seeds are often heavily parasitised but this year they look the best I've seed them in years!  Drought resistant and a popular species for birds to feed on.

Eucalyptus tereticornis - Forest Red Gum/Queensland Blue Gum

A medium/large tree that grows on a wide variey of substrates and extends over much of Eastern Australia.  Flowers in June to November and seed capsules persist on trees until at least the next flowering, although in tropical populations, seed is shed shortly after it matures.  It is quite fast growing and makes a good shade tree, can be used to control gully erosion, for timber and many other uses.  It is an important food tree for Koalas, a habit for possums and a major source of pollen and honey for apiculture.
