folias Posted October 26, 2010 This is a very rare Acacia, which has not been commonly cultivated. A friend collected these ripe seeds and gave them to me for distrbution to the community. So I have quite a few seed pods here, and am willing to give away 30 seed pods - simply send me your address and I will send them off to you! Julian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sola Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks folias, appreciate the generosity. Are there any specific propagation requirements? I usually soak in near boiling water. Sometimes treated with ash from fire. Sometimes, if the seeds are bigger, I'll nick them as well. But I guess if they're really rare there may not be a lot of info. Cheers Sola Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

folias Posted October 28, 2010 ok, that's it! no more seeds. I will likely send out little packets of seeds because the seed pods have broken open. I hope this effort gets this tree growing out there in the EB community! :-) Julian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerbil Posted October 14, 2012 cheers ph! will make a thread, but just deciding on how to go about it so might be a little while. thanks for showing that, nice to know of success. Never know if people are just being lazy, haven't had success, haven't tried or simply don't wish or haven't shared their progress for varying reasons.

folias Posted October 14, 2012 Planthelper, That's awesome! Hey, I think that NOW may be the time for the seeds up there, I can't remember when they actually fruit. I haven't come into any more seeds, but it would be good if someone from the community could get onto this and get more of them out there. It might already be too late for seeds this year, I'm not sure! I think it is really important for this tree to understand human appreciation and nurturing. Julian. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
folias Posted June 3, 2014 The good news is this tree seems to grow pretty much everywhere! I have seen decent specimens around Melbourne thriving!I have come into a few more seeds. I figure I can spare 10 lots of 5 seeds. I might come into more seeds later this year, but do send me a pm if you think you can give this incredible tree a nice place to grow! Btw, these seeds were collected from a very old cultivated specimen ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarenna Posted June 3, 2014 Hey Folias None of the previous batch germinated for me - I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to try again. I have some great places to plant it out if successful. Thanks heaps 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
