Latin Name:  Acacia aneura
Common Name:  Mulga acacia
Family:  Leguminosae
Author:  F.Muell.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  15   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Arid areas in all mainland states except Victoria[157, 167].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a sandy loam and a very sunny position[1]. Succeeds in any good garden soil that is not excessively limey[11]. Most species become chlorotic on limey soils[200]. In the wild this species tolerates periodic inundation[167], though it is also very drought tolerant[245]. Hardy to at least -7c in Australian gardens[157], though this cannot be translated directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers and longer colder and wetter winters. Trees are not very hardy outdoors in Britain, even in the mildest areas of the country they are likely to be killed in excessively harsh winters[11]. This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby[200].
