For the first three years after it's planted, this acacia should be watered deeply but infrequently (when the top three inches of soil or so have dried). After that, it won't need supplemental water except in exceptionally hot and dry environments. Use drippers, emitters or a slow stream of water so that it doesn't run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through the deepest layers of soil. A great trick for watering street trees is to drill a 1/8-inch hole on the bottom edge of a 5-gallon bucket, then set the bucket with the hole aligned next to the tree and fill the bucket with water. Fill once for a 1-5 gallon plant, fill twice for a 7-15 gallon plant, three times for 25g or larger plants. Though these trees are drought tolerant, never let them go bone dry in a pot. | |

Notas de cultivo
Prune lightly after flowering to keep dense. Provide good drainage; it is adapted to gritty, granite-derived soils in its habitat.
Interés especial
Resinous stems and foliage give it a slightly sticky texture, the source of its common name.
