communacacian Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Hi all, welcome to 2018! Acacia Courtii Seedlings for sale in bulk only this time A.C Bulk Pack - $120 inc postage 8 x Acacia courtii 40mm tubes - $100 P & H $20 Express Min. order of 8. If you are looking for smaller numbers or individual plants I suggest you contact the larger ethno retailers as I believe they will have some ready soon. Unfortunately no post to WA, NT or TAZ. Australia Only As you may know this is a very specially tree that has a limited population so hopefully these go to people with some land that can plant them out to ensure species survival long into the future! I would recommend re-potting them into something slightly larger and then planting into the ground after summer or if you can tend to them daily you could plant them out now in a semi shaded area watering daily. These trees are inoculated with their homebase rhizobia and are a picture of health. Kept under light shade cloth.

Horus Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Hey Communacacian, Photos of my 4 plants, 14mths on. Im 6ft tall. Growing well in lower Hunter Valley NSW. Stems finally thickening up, though some support required. My only question is , should I prune the tops to thicken things up? Yeah I know the answer is "do one and compare the result" But I wanted an excuse to share these pics, and thank you again for your good work, producing nice healthy plants for our community.

communacacian Posted April 4, 2017 Wow Horus, thankyou for sharing, its really nice to see the trees i send out looking happy and healthy in their new homes! Also I really appreciated the kudos ive been getting here recently for my work, and its so great to be able to share my passion in a way that benefits others here, it really means alot! Yes pruning the tops will send the growth energy in a more horizontal distribution, however this will temporarily stunt its vertical height. I spend alot of time shaping trees for my occupation so when it comes to these trees I am more inclined to just let let grow how they want to grow and see what happens. In regards to this species, not much research has been done into how pruning will effect them so I am in full support of experimentation which would be great to be documented on this site! As courtii is a vigorous grower they can tend to shoot up rather quickly which creates quite a thin stem. Something to consider is that these trees naturally dont grow in open spaces and are surrounded by other courtii and eucalypts which shield them from the elements, so depending on the environment they are in a fattening up could well be in order! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horus Posted April 5, 2017 Cheers communacacian, I havent pruned, like you, I feel i should let them grow. The stems are finally fattening up, and they seem to be having an additional growth spurt before winter. Then again, It could be this month of regular rain we have been having. I will be sure to post updates, and observations. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oncewhywechange Posted April 5, 2017 Hey guys ,In the wild , like most acacias they grow very fast and tend to bend over with top heavy growing branches. after the 2nd growth they slow down and pick themselves up again and the trunk thickens during this process. good luck with borer as most acacias in the wild are shaped by them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
communacacian Posted April 18, 2017 such a beautiful tree, they can look like weeping willows! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drildo Posted April 20, 2017 such a beautiful tree, they can look like weeping willows! 100% correcto my broda. They are stunning! You're doing a damn fine job for the Australian community mate. I hope those rumors of you potentially winding up in the not so distant future, are just that, rumors. When I search Google images for 'Acacia Courtii' both Yours and Horus' pictures are at the top of the list lol. Its really only our small community that are trying to conserve these plants guys - doesn't seem like there is much interest/awareness outside of this circle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MoonUnitBotanica Posted May 13, 2017 I was going to ask the same thing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drildo Posted May 13, 2017 I was also after a few more myself commy? I PM'd a few days ago around the time the messaging system was buggy. The other courtii I have here are doing brilliantly. Specimens planted on flat ground are a bit slower than ones planted on 45 degree angle (may be sun exposure though).. But they are doing very well. I treat holes with native potting mix & osmocote native fertilizer pellets then seasol & water for the first month... then commence with weekly powerfeed+seasol tonic with watering in between when necessary... They are going APESHIT. Very quick & hardy beautiful little weeping acacia. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drildo Posted August 8, 2017 This ebay link is interesting:http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Acacia-Courtii-The-Three-Brothers-Seed-Pack-/112512583911?hash=item1a3245c8e7:g:VUEAAOSwnsZZhwv9 Courtii apparently comes in three different phenotypes depending on which of the three mountains it comes from. Out of the 10 odd I have growing, some are thin and red, others are wider and less red. Where do you get your seed commy, what are the tubestock, are they one kind of courtii (south, middle or north) or are they from any of the three mountains? Which one of the three is most desirable, or does no one have any idea yet - still early days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
