I took a drive to vic a few months ago and bought a heap of acacia plants from Communicacian. phlebophilia obtusafolia and some odd one offs etc acuminata narrow phyllode acuminata narrow phyllode some mixed stuff, i buy the florabunda from the b shop for 2.50 ea, they make great hedges, I've already got quite a few in the ground, some have flowered this year obtusafolia I encouraged Communication to invest the money i paid for the plants into more hot houses and raising more acacia plants as the guy has a gift for this, seriously he is a great grower of acacia I have ordered 100 courtii from him, these should be ready next spring I've some confusa as well from the sab shop and Dood thé Dood ones are doing the best atm all these plants are destined to be planted on a 45 degree hill side that has lotsa rocky out crops. good for drainage etc I love them and will look after them very well theres already an acacia orchard the other side of the valley i planted last year and some this winter, these are doing ok, though i don't think some are getting enough drainage so I've dug drainage channels from their holes so any excess water drains away

built a trellis for my young caapi.

Gold Coast hinterland - protected spot from easern sun in winter - camellia garden that then goes down to rainforest near creek. A few cold mornings 3 2 4 c mornings earlier in June, these guys - no rain i spotted I think they were a bit dried out lol , then the roo or something ate them all. They liked the pinebark in the camellia garden I like this random pic - spot the grub ? [/IMG]

So no one has a want for these ? i will try sweeten the deal a little by adding 8 x L.W texana seeds and a few pereskiopsis cuttings. I will be adding extras in as well and don't think the package will disappoint any cactus lover looking to expand there collection. Anyhow all good if no one shows any interest in them over the next couple of weeks ill have a go on ebay : ) Cheers y'all : )

Not quite news but THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO OUR DEMOCRACY... lol

Grafted Trichocereus Peruvianus "Sharxx Blue" x Trichocereus Peruvianus Monstrose: Thanks nitro!

I dont follow who's selling what on ebay & my only dealings with tyler have been less than positive. I've never met the guy (lives locally) & my only interaction with him was shortly after i joined fb i got a friend request from him which i ignored (i ignore 99.9% of all friend requests as a general habit). well not long after i noticed he was blocking me on fb.... back to more on topic of nitrogen's connoisseur's hybrids......last summer nitro stopped by, bringing 3 milk crates full of grafted seedlings in very poor neglected condition......a staggering number of crests, monstrous and normal looking Nitro hybrids......I potted all up in 1 gallon pots so they could recover and only recently repotted, burying the pereskiopsis rootstocks so the plants could begin growing their own roots. first pic is Psycho0 x N1 on the left N1 x Psycho0 on the right & nitrogen's hand writing on the labels! other pics show some of his crests/monstrous plants

have been busy over winter planting most of the acacia's that were in pots in the ground. was loosing some trees to pesky wabbits so went and bought some tree wraps that came with stakes. these are a obtusafolia/longifolia x, fast growers along this fence line it goes - confusa then courtii then acuminata, the 3 types alternate till the strainer post at the end, the courtii are staked. a mix of acuminata, obtusafolia, courtii and confusa to the left of the track same track from the opposite direction a mix of acuminata, obtusafolia, courtii and confusa in the foreground, acuminata, courtii and confusa on the opposite bank of the creek a bloke i pay to do the jobs i don't want to do on my farm dug that walking path in 5 hours..... stella effort 10 courtii in a grove to the right, the rest are wide and narrow leaf accuminata confusa to the right, the rest are wide and narrow leaf acuminata with a few odd vars at the end acuminata narrow across the creek along the fence line of the sheep paddocks, 8 willtipole sheep there in the far right of the pic, these are great sheep, really friendly n they shed their wool each summer so they don't need sheering courtii and acuminata on the right, mixed plantings of courtii, acuminata, concurrens, confusa and some obtusafolia x longifolia across the creek have staked all the courtii so they grow strait for a meter then they can weep as much as they want to obtusafolia been in the ground for 2 winters acuminata been in the ground for 2 winters maidenii been in the ground for 2 winters floribunda, 3 winters in the ground, these are very hardy plants, planted some more along this fence line this winter....... one planted last winter, they are super quick growers Phlebs have nearly hit to top of the greenhouse, plan to move them out in the next couple weeks, will have to stake them as they are a bit lanky another bunch of phlebs i got from Communicacian before winter, going to risk it n plant these ones in the ground on the levy bank of the dam, 45 degree slope so should be reasonable drainage, will prepare their holes with blue metal and a native potting mix before planting. n thats what a fair bit of work and 350+ acacia trees in the ground looks like, very exciting to watch them all growing, should be quite a sight in a few years.

I have a tray of seedlings. Pics available next year. Will also give away some of the seedlings. Just let them get big first. I was kinda late germinating them but viability was great and have quite a few seedlings to give away.
