Description

Purple Bailey Acacia is a strikingly colorful tree, offering multi-season interest. Its new growth emerges in brilliant shades of purple and bronze, maturing to a soft blue-green. Combined with fragrant golden winter flowers and a graceful, spreading form, it creates a fast-growing, drought-tolerant focal point with unique foliage color.

Valued for its stunning purple and bronze new foliage that provides a vibrant color show in spring, gradually maturing to a bluish-green.
Produces prolific, fragrant, golden-yellow flower clusters in late winter, attracting pollinators.
Grows quickly into a broad, spreading canopy with a picturesque, slightly weeping habit.
Highly drought and heat tolerant once established, and more resistant to the root diseases that plague some other acacias.
