"Spreading shrub to c. 3 m high; branches slender and often arching downwards." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)

"Grows in shallow soil in sandstone ranges, in Eucalyptus open forest with closed scrub."(WorldWideWattle ver. 2)

We also observe Acacia leichhardtii on exposed saprolites, often kaolinised, where the parent rocks were metamorphics. In these poor situtations there is very little competition from grasses.

Acacia leichhardtii forms stands of small proportions and are usually in Eucalypt forest settings. These are nonetheless large enough to facilitate a reasonable seed collection.
