Acacia fimbriata is naturally found in Australia from Sydney New South Wales to southern Queensland growing on the coast and in the adjoining tablelands in open Eucalypt forests. 

It prefers well drained, but moist sandy loam in a semi shaded to full sun protected position and is moderately frost resistant and drought tolerant. 

The Fringed Wattle is grown for its flowers and its slender foliage. It is planted in parks and gardens as a specimen or as a screen in shrub borders. It establishes in 1 to 2 years and is suitable for coastal or inland regions. It is also grown as a wind break or small shade tree in native gardens. ID 2106
