Acacia dichromotricha is a tree that typically grows to a height of 4–10 m (13–33 ft), its main stems often gnarled and fluted, with furrowed bark. Its branchlets have white hairs pressed against the surface, but soon become glabrous, the new shoots with silky lemony hairs at first. The phyllodes are slightly to strongly curved downwards, 70–120 mm (2.8–4.7 in) long and 4–8 mm (0.16–0.31 in) wide, with 14 or 15 veins per millimetre, sometimes with up to three more prominent veins. There is a gland up to 2.5 mm (0.098 in) above the base of the phyllodes. The flowers are borne in interrupted spikes or in short racemes 1–4 mm (0.039–0.157 in) long and are golden yellow. Flowering has been observed in May and June, and the pod valves are narrowly oblong, 60–80 mm (2.4–3.1 in) long, 6–7 mm (0.24–0.28 in) wide, moderately curved and not constricted between the seeds.
