There is no male/female component. I would suggest that the plant is so busy growing that it cannot flower. Don’t fertilise! Also, watch the amount of water. They are hardy plants. Sometimes a struggle in the soil promotes the flowering and seed set.

I have a acacia baileyana (Cootamundra Wattle)as shown above. I planted this plant in May 2007 when it was only as big as my forearm. Today it’s 3 mts high but yet no flowering and is still grey-green foliage. Is this plant a female to flower or a male with no flowering.
Please advise
Thanking you,
margaret
