The photo was taken on 1st November 2008, Now, 21st December, it still has leaves and some flowers and scent. I also have M.Dealbata, but no flowers on them yet - I expect them in Spring.

Janey, I have seen them in the South of France in snow....There are so many Acacia species growing all over the world. We have some too in regions where it snows. Nice shot Gray. What time of the year is this one flowering?

Spray it with soapy water (diluted down) or run your finger and thumb along the stem and SQUISH if you can bear it! or. of course, take it outside and spray it with Bug Killer.

My bible says full sun but that light shade is tolerated so both your labels are correct!

this plant is commonly known as false acacia.
One of my clients had 2 in his garden, one died, the other doesn't look
too happy either, then again it is planted in shade, no shelter from wind and we live in the north east of england so I guess he was being hopeful?!
Keely's plant though looks fab!
