Description
This image displays a flowering branch of Spike Wattle, not a cultivated bonsai specimen. If grown as a bonsai, this species would exhibit its distinctive needle-like phyllodes and striking yellow spike flowers, as seen here in bloom. Bonsai cultivation would focus on developing a strong trunk and ramification.
