How to identify this plant?

Hi - this is a plant from Bunnings - soft leaves and with a hard trunk/branches, no tag

 

I went to Bunnings Gladstone but could not see the same

 

Wish to get this plant if I know what it is

Re: Plant ID

Hi @JM2000,

 

From the leaf shape, it is likely to be some type of Acacia. Has it flowered at all for you? If so, could you tell us what they looked like? One possibility is that it's a Queensland Silver Wattle

 

Let me tag @Noelle and @mich1972 to see if they have any thoughts.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell

 

See something interesting? Give it the thumbs up!

Re: How to identify this plant?

Hi @JM2000 

It's a bit hard to identify any shrub/tree without either seeing the flowers or having a close-up image of a leaf, to see the vein pattern in it. While the leaves could be Silver Wattle, the growth habit is quite different - Silver Wattle is usually more erect and tree-like than shrubby as in your photo. 

There are too many other options to choose from, so we await your response to @MitchellMc 's comments.
