Hey @Gimli

 

Do you have any photos of your trees?

I've been out picking seeds today up near Moora and while I'm pretty sure they're broad variety, the phyllodes are much longer and thicker than the ones down around York.

 

Also curious as to your harvest method.

I've just gotten maybe 500-750 seeds and had to painstakingly split each pod and rub my nail down them to disconnect every seed.

I imagine your using a sieve of some variety.

 

 

Here are the only photos I really have. I have found that broad phyllode is pretty consistent over it's entire endemic range. Without flowers it's hard to say for sure. If you could smell the heart wood that would help also...

 

Did you take photos of the specimen(s) you collected from?

 

I hand* threshed the pods and the seed basically fell out. Does help if they are really dry. Then winnowed it a few times.

That’d be fantastic! Thanks heaps! :D ❤️

 

Your name is already on the list. Patience, young grasshopper

 

Edit: final threshing and winnow yield is around 80,000 seeds by weight estimate. Pretty chuffed

Damn that’s a good collection you’ve got in that tub!!

 

Thank, worth the effort. Have a little more to process, maybe another few thousand seeds. Drop in the bucket though

[Merry Christmas 2018]

Happy festivus

[Acacia acuminata seed giveaway 2018/2019]

Visited today and picked just over a kilo of seed (pictured). Might go back for more next week. Some trees are still covered in green pods, some are hanging ripe and some have dropped all their seed

 

For now, running this giveaway until 7/1/19 and then I'll get mailing. Still waiting on a few people to send back their address too

 

Happy festivus

[Upside down Lophophora grafting]

No point wasting good material

 

[What did you do to your cacti today?]

After doing a couple, I think I will leave the film on until the seedling breaks through it. I did a slightly bigger Lophophora onto Selenicereus stock and removing the film was a right pain.

[What did you do to your cacti today?]

Aug 3 grafts already spitting out pups. 13 offsets across 6 grafts so far and more areoles swelling

 

A myriostigma var quadricostatum

 

TPM

 

Not much else has been happening, what with the pere farming and all. 546 pieces so far. Hope to hit 700 by xmas

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

6 of 7 Acacia courtii. The last one is taking it's sweet ass time losing the seed coat.

[Acacia acuminata seed giveaway 2018/2019]

Update: given the weird season we're having so far, seed might not be ready until around new years. Visited the plantation of an acquaintance today and they are still bright green pods so no doubt will be the same as my trees. Will go back a few days before xmas

 

To claim some seeds, please post here as per the original post. I will then PM asking for your address. Please don't just hit me with a PM containing your address.

Cheers
