The showy Acacia Macradenia is commonly known as the zig zag wattle because of the way each segment of the stem angles away from the previous segment.
It is a native of Central Queensland being found growing on sandy or rocky soils between Chinchilla in Southern Queensland and the Blackdown Tableland in Central Queensland.
The tree grows about 3 to 5m in height with a similar width of spread. It flowers from late winter to early spring.
This tree is growing in the gardens at the Boyne Valley Community Discovery Centre and it's just burst into bloom during the past week.
