	Wattle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A wattle is often constructed of natural plant materials such as hay bales, or plant material grubbed from a construction site and arranged in piles on a downflow slope.
		Wattle in Australia is the name of a species of Acacia, probably because this plant was commonly used in wattle-and-daub in early period house construction.
		Wattle is the name for a fleshy growth hanging from the neck or throat of several groups of birds, including chickens, turkeys and vultures, as well as Australia's wattlebirds and three New Zealand species (kokako, saddleback and huia).

		The Cootamundra Wattle was first brought to the attention of Government botanists for identification by a Mr Bailey - hence the botanical name (Acacia Baileyana).
		The study was to reveal the Cootamundra wattle was a true species naturally occuring in a restricted area in sheltered situations away from the South West generally towards higher ground between Stockinbingal, Temora, Cootamundra and Bethungra.
		What makes the wattle so popular, apart from the knowledge that it has become such a successful garden plant and identity for the region, is that it can still be found naturally along roadsides and in bushland remnants.

		When taken out of their native environment to other parts of the continent, some wattle varieties can take over or even wipe out the local native bush as effectively as any introduced plant pest, warns Sandy Lloyd of the Weeds Cooperative Research Centre.

		Many of these weedy wattles are available in nurseries and garden centres, and there is growing concern that conscientious gardeners looking to plant native gardens are unwittingly helping to spread them across the landscape, Sandy says.

		The Cootamundra wattle makes a fair-sized tree and is prone to being blown over, its leafy evergreen top giving the wind plenty to catch hold of, and should get a strong hardwood or treated stake at planting.
