    Here's the info on Acacia grafting: https://www.agriculture.purdue.edu/fnr/htirc tropical/pdf/Pubs/Nelson_koa_graft.pdf

     

    Grafting is not just about growth speeds, but disease resistance and soil tolerance too :). I'm thinking I'll give it a shot, but I don't really know what I'd bother with grafting on.

     

    Also since I first asked, I've settled on Castanospermum australe as another Aussie nitrogen fixer I'll be planting. Can be eaten, although it's apparently a huge faff.

     

     

    Hey, Yes I know why plants are grafted , Just haven't heard of grafting acacia's. I have done soft wood cuttings on my rare species.  concurrens and soporae was the species I was thinking off.

    is it acceptable to allocate seeds to other people after a certain amount of time instead of the original bunch who claimed them or am I meant to just fucking wait for people to send their addresses?

    just checked this, awesome thread and garden, lots of special plants. 

     

    I have never seen red scale and I honestly thought and read about it too that Ephedras have no real enemies except the occasional goat for wild plants or (my own experience)  small snail damage at small seedlings. 

     

    I would love to see more pictures of that sinica and also hear about how you came to grow this plant, how old it is, and also notes on its yearly circle. My experience says that the hot summer period is the most tricky to go through, and they might need extra shading during that time. 

     

    Thank you, The plant is around three years old from a cutting. I grow a lot of citrus so the scale can move from the orchard to the cactus garden.  

     

    You are right about the hot summers, it is very humid and wet here so I grow mine in pots so I can move them around throughout the year.   I will upload a few pictures of my different species in the next couple of days for you.
