"Somewhat spindly shrub to c. 3 m high" (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)

"Grows in shallow sand derived from sandstone or less commonly from granite, in Eucalyptus forest or woodland; in coastal areas it occurs in deep sand in heath." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)

We observe Acacia juncifolia on ridges with very shallow soils, often gravelly, or on very poor sands. Sometimes also on kaolinite exposures with little soil development. In these poor situtations there is very little competition from grasses. Seed production in Queensland from this Acacia is minimal and good Winter-Spring rain is required to bring about crops which are often in Corymbia citriodora dominant forest. The fine features of the plant make it difficult to see in shaded forest situations. The seed can be gently threshed from the pods.
