niggles Posted April 2, 2017 Had to drop a couple of trees after the hectic rains up here.. both appear to be the same type of acacia.. can anyone help me ID them? Most of the seed pods were dry and empty or too green to get a good seed, but the one I found was very flat and oval shaped like the photo below.. I havent seen them flower ufortunately so I cant tell you about that. Both big trees, sorry they had to come down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strontium Dawg Posted April 2, 2017 The curly seed pods make me think maidenii, but that's a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flux Posted April 2, 2017 How long are the phyullodes? Do you have photos of the whole tree, or large parts of the bracnches? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

niggles Posted April 2, 2017 Ive been told it is acacia melanoxylon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted April 2, 2017 Looks good to be a melanoxylon, and habitat looks right. Can see the remnant of the fleshy aril on that seed, and the colour looks good. implexa can look similar, but the aril is whitish and doesnt encircle the seed like melanoxylon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
