Environmental HabitatAcacia Decurrens (Also known as Sydney green wattle) is a tree or shrub that has a life expectancy of more than two years (perennial plant). Acacia Decurrens are usually found in Eastern New South Wales, including geographical places such as Sydney, Greater Blue Mountain Areas, the Hunter Region and can also be found in the south-west area of the Australian Capital Territory. This species of plant is native to Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales. It is usually found to grow on places such as on shale (a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of mud) and sandstone soils that consist of medium nutrients as well as great drainage. These plants grow naturally in woodlands and usually grow in temperatures that are coastal and cool but not to the extent where these environments are too dry or hot. Acacia Decurrens are quite tolerant to extreme weathers and usually grow in environments with high rainfalls of 600-1400mm per year. Green wattles in Sydney grow near roadsides, along the sides of creek lines and occasionally in waste areas. Sunlight and rainfall are two major abiotic factors that Acacia Decurrens depend on. Without efficient amount of sunlight, these plants would not be able to photosynthesis efficiently and without the presence of water, there would not be enough nutrients for survival.
