Acacia trees and shrubs for sale in Melbourne

The acacia family are renowned for their low-maintenance needs, which makes them a great choice for busy homeowners who don’t have time for gardening. However, you can’t just plant and leave them.

Once a year, they’ll need to be pruned of dead and damaged branches. Once a month, or even every other month, it’s best to rake up any leaf litter at their bass. 

Acacias are prone to anthracnose, which we can recommend a fungicide for over a call, and can be preyed upon by sap-sucking pests like aphids. We’ve got pesticides you can use to make light work of them, though.

Because acacia trees and shrubs, including wattles, have evolved to thrive in Australia’s unique climate, you can pretty much guarantee any species you choose will thrive in your garden.

Acacias grow practically everywhere, from our arid Australian outback to our salty stretches of coastline. They’re fine during the rains and the heat waves. Their only weakness is the frost; while they can withstand a bit of cold, ice and snow can kill an acacia.
