Acacia acuminata seed giveaway 2019/2020

Recommended Posts

Welcome to the third (and possibly the last?) installment of the Acacia acuminata (raspberry jam) broad phyllode seed giveaway

 

To receive a bag containing 5g of seed:

1) Post below, preferably with a photo of any wattle you've grown yourself
2) Immediately send me a PM containing mailing address and a name to go on the package in the following format:

 

Name

Address

Suburb State Postcode

 

If not in the above format, I will skip you. This year I will just print a stick on label instead of handwriting

 

This is limited to the first 40 people and only for members in Australia. I do not post internationally

 

Happy belated wattle day

Very keen, I have a small wattle seedling that I'm currently nurturing.
Excited to get some seeds to plant on my new property -- a lot of border fencing to screen with beautiful wattle and other natives!

I tried & tried & tried & tried...to upload, drag, insert photos with no success.  I have no idea why.  The photos are:

 

1. Mixed Acacia forest - 2yrs old (5m tall).

2. Acacia madenii - 2yrs old (1.5m tall).

3. Acacia madenii - 2yrs old (5m tall).

4. Acacia confusa - 2yrs old (20cm tall).

 

I even tried to PM them with the same issue.

 

I tried!  Does it still count?

Anyone who just messages their address without posting will be skipped (2 so far). It just helps me keep track

 

9 seed lots spoken for so far

 

Thanks all, can't wait to share some more love

Thanks Gimli, I wouldn't mind another crack at growing acuminata down here.  Last year the frost got most but Im moving to the coast so better, less frosty times ahead.

Pic is of 

A.dealbata, acuminata and floribunda.

Acacica Confusa :D I only have 1 but shes going strong. I'm in Perth and would love to grow some wattles here, I know they grow close by but I know a few spots where that would thrive naturally. Along with my garden. I cant upload the image for some reason so here's a link :D https://imgur.com/gallery/lzDK4ej
