G'day all
I have 2 wattles in the second year and they are both covered with seed pods . That is dozens of pods more than i think is norm

Any ideas?

I have quite a few species of wattles all covered in too many pods. I believe they have decided that after two drought years and finally some spring rain that they should reproduce before they die. They might be right.

I know that's a bit morose but my Banksia coccinea flowered well on the South Coast of NSW and I thought that was too weird and a harbinger of climate change.

Prune all the wattles though because they will look better in the long run.

Thanks Neil
Yes you could have hit the nail on the head. I have pruned and also taken a lot of pods off
It will be a waiting game now.
