    Hi folks. I received this Doboisia myoporoides as a cutting from Shaman-Australis in early Spring (US). It was basically just a stick which easily rooted and is now a very nice specimen. I have a few questions which somebody may be able to answer.

    When does D. myoporoides generally flower? Is this species self-fertile? I have the excellent Flora of Australia, Vol 29, Solanaceae but this resource doesn't answer these questions.

    If you look at the attached image, there are two small branches at the bottom of the trunk that are perfect candidates for cuttings. Should I take normal stem cuttings or go for air layering? I have some D. hoopwoodi seedings growing and am looking to generate a few D. myoporoides cuttings for rootstock.

    Thank you all for the the replies. As I have a decent amount of fresh Anthcercis seed and GA-3, I believe I will start a few small trials with 100ppm and 250ppm. My only concern with GA-3 is that if thr seeds are already easily viable, then GA-3 could induce elongation of the seedlings. I will also start a non-treated portion and keep enough left over to experiemnt with smoke treatment if needed.

    Can anyone comment on the quality of seeds that Nindethena offers? In addition to the two Anthocercis species, I also picked up a large amount of fresh D. Hopwoodii which 'should' be vible without treament. I didn't see anything else in their catalogue of too much interest.

    As a student of medicinal Solanaceae and an afficiando of 'Flora of Australia' Vol 29 Solanaceae', I am very interested in the other species of Solanceae endemic to Austrialia such as other species of Anthocercis and Duboisia, plus species Anthotroche, Crenidum, Symonanthus but most especilly Grammosolen.

    If I do decide to go the smoke route with the Anthocercis, Nindethena offers smoked infused vermiculite. If there a truly easier DIY method compared to ordering the treatment fro Nindethena.. If Ga-3 works just as, I am fine with that!
