{"product_id":"acacia-cognata","title":"Bower Wattle","description":"\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe standard Bower Wattle is a graceful, fast-growing small tree or large shrub, loved for its weeping habit of long, narrow, bright green foliage. It produces a cloud of creamy-yellow flowers in winter. While beautiful, it can be susceptible to root rot in heavy soil and has a relatively short lifespan (15-20 years), making it a temporary but impactful screening or accent tree.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrows rapidly into a graceful, weeping tree with long, cascading strands of bright green, needle-like foliage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduces a showy display of pale yellow, puffball flower clusters in winter, providing color in the off-season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMajor Caveat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e It is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehighly susceptible to soil-borne fungal diseases\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhytophthora\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) in poorly drained or overwatered soil, especially in our clay-heavy Bay Area soils. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerfect drainage is absolutely critical.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest used as a fast-growing temporary screen or specimen where its beauty can be enjoyed for its typical 15-25 year lifespan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Victory Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":43778007400536,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 Gallon","offer_id":43447661002840,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8000\/6232\/files\/Bower_Wattle-1.png?v=1764373345","url":"https:\/\/victorynursery.us\/products\/acacia-cognata","provider":"Victory Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
