Please I.D these saplings for me...

Cattaby · 24th July 2011, 04:40 PM

I've recently moved into a property and these three trees are in my garden.

Is anyone able to help me identify them? I took them to Bunnings, but the person there was fairly useles...

Have included a full length shot and a close up of the leaves.

No worries, figured it out eventually =)

I've also realised I've posted this in the wrong spot on the forums - can I get a mod to move it for me? Many thanks =)

(The trees are in Melbourne Australia too if that's any help!)

I think you may have a few wattles there, there's many types and up here I likely do not see the types you have down there.

I.D the second picture #2 as I can not see enough detail in the first, The plant in front looks to be Acacia binervia and the one behind looks like Acacia decurrens

Photo 2 of Tree 2 is the lower growth of Tree 2 - it's bare up top, but the lower growth is going strong!

No post 2 #2 tree No 1, picture two, there's clearly two different leaf types...

I've double checked the tree and the ferny foliage is attached to the main tree - young growth perhaps?

The ferny growth in behind may be crown vetch, an invasive viney ground cover.

The 'ferny' foliage that you can see is actually the true leaves of many Acacia species. The big flat wide 'leaves' are phyllodes. The leaflets are juvenile stage only and drop off pretty early. Good old Wattle.
