[Acacia courtii propagation from cuttings]

Thanks heaps for taking the time.

It does all seem a little overwhelming (but I've thought that about many things I now come to understand well  ).

I purchased a soil Ph tester so will see what the conditions look like first. I also got some Osmocote for native gardens to give it a well balanced fertilisation. I've avoided fish oil on the Acacia's thus far as I was advised it is too high in nitrogen.

Also it is unseasonably warm here (and has been quite dry up until a week ago), but this 'oranging' of leaves did first occur when they were seedlings and we had a very hot spell during which I was overseas, so makes sense.

cheers

Thank you so much Gerbil, These guys are growing well and have many new branches but there are still some leaves that loook like this, (I juts collect them as they drop off). When you say 'Phosphorous problems', do you mean deficiency or excess ? and how do I remedy it ?

[In and around today]

Had some mates get good size cubes in the field over the weekend (only under the trees though).

Found a bunch of these guys this morning in fresh dung, not sure of they are perhaps Copelandia or Panaeolus though.

Hi Brainhayes,

I see you're in a similar area to me...and I also thought it might be a little late in the season.

After the last day or two of storms though, it seemwd worth going to see if I could see anything in the fields too.

Only found just these small cubes after about 10 minutes of looking...but good to know there's still fruit in the paddock

and the humidity is still high-(ish)and with more rain since, I might have a look in a more reliable locale tomorrow

[skinny seedlings]

Ok, first time trying to raise Obtusifolia from seed and about 70 percent germinated BUT they all appear to

be elongated and 'skinny' (compared to what I have seen in images online).

Is this possibly the result of too much sun or some other factor I have not considered?

I am going to re-pot the little guy on the left here (as he seems the healthiest) when I get some soil from

around the local Longifolia and Floribunda groves.

thanks in advance,

Flux

So I've noticed as these guys get larger, that much of the older foliage has become mottled, dried and orange coloured (photos attached). Is this disease or merely too much midday sun ? thanks in advance

Hi Mystical Oyster, your just in time for the Somara shamanic medicine forum beginning next week in Byron http://www.somara.org/

[Acacia courtii propagation from cuttings]

These newly potted Courtii are doing rather well, but I am curious as to the drooping branches. It seems that this is part of Courtii's general morphology... but should I stake them up to avoid hitting the ground or raise the pots (unfortunately cannot get them into any ground for a little while)- thanks in advance

[Mislabelled Cereus Uruguayanus?]

this is the specimen labelled Cereus Urugayanus in the Sydney gardens (which also could be a mislabel, I'm not sure)

[What did you do in your sacred garden today?]

While admiring the new growth of my 6 month old Caapi I found this gorgeous little guy living on my Longissima

Hi Olive

Given the micro-conditions that A.Courtii occurs in, is there a specific soil-mix recommended for these or would the Phleb mix suffice ?

[Acacia Identity]

Good to know It will certainly make the larger ones easier to spot...going walking up to a spot which is also well documented on GBIF < http://www.gbif.org/species/2980237 >. Have a small test to run on the above Obtuse species (all previous attempts with Longifolia, Floribunda and what I'm suspected to be Longisssima have been negative (other than for learning the ropes)

[Acacia Identity]

Mid North Coast...and yes I thought they should be about to flower, it's been very warm-but could be even a week or two perhaps ?

[Acacia Identity]

Hi folks,

Latest finds are posted below; I suspect I am getting closer to Obtuse in the first two (small 1-2 metre plants with no flowers or pods to as yet) ...and the rest Maidenii ?

cheers

Thanks Baghdatis,

As I become more familiar with what's in my area, I think A. floribunda and Fimbriata are the call...the former being the more prevalent and having quite deep red bark and very fine twigs that protrude from the main branches (which should serve nicely for a test sample).

Additionally I have another curious specimen which the closest match I can find seems to be A.Binervia (more commonly known as the Coast Myall, which makes sense as it was found in a remote part of the Central Coast). Attached are some images of this significantly tall, slender tree with very flaky bark.

Hi folks,

Some new finds today which I suspect to be Obtuse & Floribunda - any thoughts ?

cheers.

[Acacia Identity]

Thanks everyone -much appreciated

Also another specimens which eludes me

Thanks Baghdatis, I’d looked at the Wiki sites several times, but it really helps to have the two side by side like that.

Having collected these photos today (from other locations), I have noticed there is no resinous margin and the seed pods posted above are definitely from these trees. Included is a photo of the bark if this helps. I also tried a burn test but no distinct tryptamine smell.

These trees vary from around .5 metres tall to at least 2 metres- some 3
