On another note I love your sculptures

I think the red flower in your above post belongs to a Delonix regia commonly known as a poinciana. Also known as a flame tree . Common names can be confusing...Best stick with the latin .

I think it's a Brachychiton discolor from your pics. Lobed leaves like oaks and maples like you stated. And yes they are deciduous. The pic in your above post is not the flame tree we have here. Google the latin Brachychiton acerifolium for the native flame tree.

How big are the flowers? What do the leaves look like? Where did you spot it exactly? There's 30 or so species of these trees. Beautiful natives. Flame trees are one of the more commonly known species. I'm pretty sure i'm right with the genus, maybe someone can chime in with a species name for you. Hope this helps..

I think it's a Brachychiton sp's, commonly known as a kurrajong.

Seeds received mate, many thanks! Will get these down ASAP and post in this thread with results.. Thanks again Rahli

Yeah in oz mate, will pm you shortly..

Oh yeah Nibbana if you didn't already know which u probably do the reason Nunu has a some what different texture is that I believe it contains the toasted inner bark of a Theobroma sp. There is some speculation as to which actual species though... T.bicolor perhaps?? Perhaps P's Dog knows more..

Once again much respect for your ever enlightening posts P's Dog. Appreciate the offer of a little bag of snuff to get one through. Last time I ran out, which I tend not to make a habit of , I made a rather tasty chewing tobacco from a pack of Champion rolling tobacco, some apple juice, palm sugar, maldon sea salt and a wee bit of food grade Calcium Hydroxide. Was tasty stuff.. Wat's your technique for snuff making from cigarettes? . Did you add some Sodium Bicarbonate and/or salt?? Any flavours? So Nibbana rides the elusive white elephant . Nice man. The whites are what India does best IMHO. Fuck are they fine though. They make an English Toast seem course. The Dholokia White and White Elephant are two of my staples. Nothing matches them for in terms of Nicotine when it comes to snuffs. They have more of a sting than the nice burn associated with quality Toasts and Scotches. An almost fishy smell, I also detect an ever so slight tinge of Musk which is typical of Indian snuffs. I tend to move onto the whites when I feel that my snuff use has been creeping up to much. Man they pack a punch, lovely stuff . Man we small but dedicated band of Snuff aficionados should get a Snuff trading thread happening, now that would be cool . Once again thanks for the offer P's Dog, I may indeed take you up on it one day. Much love to all yall Snuff Heads! This thread is rockin.. Katu

Sounds like you've got some nice snuffs on hand Nibbana! I'm a box car man myself, pinching whilst effective is a bit messy. Lately i've been using one of those self applicators from Southern America which makes for an completely different experience! And by that I mean you can really load those puppies up so to speak IDL is Samuel Gawith snuffs yes?? I've tried their Kendal D and Kendal D Light and whilst the flavours/aromas were lovely the fibrous grind completely fucks my nose. Doesn't have the silky texture of the F&T, WOS or Toque Toasts. But yeah i'm with you WOS IHT and F&T HDT are on an entirely different level to Toque. Toque has none of the complexity of the two former. If you haven't worked it out already I love my Toasts Me, i'm an everyday snuffer, or should I say hoover . It's IMHO the best way to consume tobacco. I do to a lesser degree indulge in Snus, Dip and chew, and when I can afford them, which is less often than I would like a good quality cigar. I remember reading an old thread on here from a while back on snuff and a member(I cant remember who) stated "the day I quit cigarettes was the day I discovered tobacco". Couldn't put it better myself. In terms of customs P's Dog is bang on in terms of packing. Tins get picked up more often than not where as bags seem to slip through, at least a lot more than tins seem to. In saying that I seem to be getting nailed for everything lately. There's something just a little upsetting about the fact that the duty is a far greater cost than the product and shipping combined. Fucking seriously yeah . Definitely check out the Nunu. I've tried a few different kinds of green tobacco snuffs to date and they have a completely different feel about them to be honest. Respect Nibbana! Respect P's Dog, nice to meet some other people that actually appreciate tobacco in terms other than just being addicted to the poison they sell on the shelves!

Stuff like this can be really hard to diagnose...Cold, viral, nutrient related, pests?? Providing she's still putting on growth I wouldn't be overly concerned...

P's dog, I fuckin love u man, seriously ....Your words are like...??? Reading a classic piece of literature. The first time you read them you let them just flow over you, try not to think to much...The second time you begin to comprehend.....Then the third time makes you smile. You wield words like some kick arse literate ninja, tis a lost art my friend.. But yes, the English IMHO make some of if not the best snuffs in the world, the Irish ain't to shabby either.. How in gods name did Pat get an invite to Wilsons of Sharrow Centenary?? How big is his carry on luggage? Katu is a small guy and flights from Sydney to Heathrow can take as little as 24hrs nowadays...I would do unspeakable acts to attend that monumental gathering... The thing that upsets me most about Toque is that whole hipster thing they've got going on. Seriously what's with that. There's something just a little sacrilegious about the whole get up. WOS make my personal favourites. I would of loved to try the F&T range before they were taken over by Wilsons. The old snuff aficionados swear it's not the same despite the recipes being unchanged. Different hands, barrels, factory, makes sense.. Sir Walter Scott's makes some of the best artisan snuffs I have ever tried. Have got their Lundy Foot in my rotation at the moment. Lovely stuff. Very old techniques, production methods being used by that mob..

Wow another snuff aficionado, man we're a rare breed in OZ! I don't think any amount of imported tobacco is exempt though mate, you just got lucky . It's hit and miss. I've been hit for duty when importing 50gm of snuff then have had a 1kg order slip through. Lately every fucking order I make I get smashed for duty . I've had snus, dip and chew both slip through and be nabbed. Your right regarding Toque, my nose detects the same Tobacco base throughout all their range i've sampled. That Toque Natural Toast is a winner though. Have you tried F&T High Dry Toast or Wilsons No 22 Irish Toast. Beautiful snuffs. What about the Abraxas range? Expensive but absolutely exquisite! Not all day snuffs, more of an after dinner with a fine port/cognac kind of deal. But yeah don't even get me started about Australian smokeless tobacco laws. The honorably Pat Uri, or maybe his dog summed it up in words much more eloquent than I have the vocabulary for in another thread regarding traditional curing methods of tobacco. A member on here a while back imported a few unbelievable traditional rape snuffs. A dark rustica kind of number, another which was similar in colour and aroma to a Toast and a green, which was similar to but probably not a nunu. Was snuff in its rawest form. I am for ever grateful to this member as through him I was able to sample some beautiful traditional rape's.(U know who you are, do it again so I can buy them all!!!) The SAB shop has nunu in small 2gm jars, lovely stuff to sample, just 2gm of snuff doesn't go a long way with my nose .

There's a nursery up my way that sells them. Been thinking about getting one for a while. My understanding is that the fruit/seeds take a lot of processing though. Attractive tree, beautiful fruits. Has lots of uses.
