1. Bituminaria bituminosa, commonly known as the sticky wattle, is a multi-purpose shrub native to Australia. This fast-growing species is found growing in abundance in coastal areas, and is a popular choice for revegetation and erosion control projects. Its dense foliage provides excellent habitat for wildlife and its flowers have a sweet honey-like aroma.
2. The sticky wattle has an upright habit, reaching a maximum height of 2-3 metres in height. Its greyish-green leaves are covered in a waxy coating, giving the plant a unique, glossy appearance. Sticky wattle flowers are bright yellow in colour and are clustered in small groups at the ends of the branches.
3. This species is a vigorous grower, producing an abundance of seeds that germinate quickly and easily. It is also a hardy plant, able to survive in a range of environments and soil types. The sticky wattle is an excellent choice for soil stabilisation and erosion control, as its dense root system helps to bind the soil in place.
4. The sticky wattle is an important food source for native wildlife, particularly birds. Its flowers are particularly attractive to honeyeaters, and its foliage provides a safe nesting spot for small birds. The seeds of the sticky wattle are also eaten by small mammals and reptiles.
5. The sticky wattle produces an oil-like resin, often referred to as bitumen, which is used in many commercial products such as adhesives, sealants and waterproofing materials. The resin is extracted from the seed pods and is then purified and processed into a usable form. The sticky wattle is an incredibly versatile species, providing a range of benefits to the environment and local wildlife.
