Acacia ascendens is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 1.5–3 m (4 ft 11 in – 9 ft 10 in) and has smooth, mid-grey bark. New growth is resinous and slightly sticky. The phyllodes are inclined or erect, cylindrical in cross section, 20–40 mm (0.79–1.57 in) long about 1 mm (0.039 in) wide, with four veins and often with a hooked end. The flowers are arranged in one or two racemes in axils or on the ends of branches with one or two heads on a peduncle 5–14 mm (0.20–0.55 in) long. Each head is spherical with 20 to 25 resinous, golden yellow flowers. Flowering occurs from June to September and the fruit is a narrowly oblong pod, up to 70 mm (2.8 in) long and about 5 mm (0.20 in) wide containing oblong to elliptic seeds with a club-shaped aril.
