Animals that may eat wattle trees include koalas, possums, and various insects. Koalas are known to feed on the leaves of certain wattle tree species, while possums may nibble on new growth. Insects such as beetles and caterpillars can also consume wattle tree leaves.
Wattle trees are of the genus Acacia, in the Mimosa family, and common throughout Australia, where there are over 600 different species. Varying in size, they may grow as low shrubs, or tall trees. Remarkably adaptable, they grow from rainforest areas to coastal heaths and remote, parched desert country. Wattle seeds grow in pods which need heat to release them and to stimulate germination. The shape of the pods vary, to coiled, looped and twisted. The seeds have a very hard outer covering. The golden wattle (Acacia pycnantha) was officially gazetted as Australia's national floral emblem in 1988. This species also features on the Australian coat of arms.
