  1. Hey @cristop, looks like it is Sophorae man.
    Picture of known Sophorae from the sand dunes:

    You were right that many of the phyllodes do exceed 12cm in length.
    Some of the sophorae down on the sand dunes phyllodes also would of measured 12cm and exceeded in some cases.
    Seems the veins on both sets of phyllodes are also 'anastomising'.  Both are also in flower at the moment.

    I'm going to cut it back to a stump and try to shape it as it grows back, if it will allow me to.
    I've got to either get rid of it or cut it rightttt back, we need to dig a trench rite beside it.

    Appreciate your help with the ID kind sir!

  2. Cheers cristop, I will take some measurements of the leaves (length wise). 12cms sounds a bit long, I think they were coming in at under that length.
    I will have a closer look at the veins on the leaves, to see if they join up at the base (node) or anything.  I'll take some more pix too.

    That website you linked Ano, seems very good, its just the terminology I have to familiarize myself with before I can utilize it correctly.

    Thx fellas.

    Then I found this; Acacia aulacocarpa FABACEAE - MIMOSOIDEAE?

    That Aulacocarpa's phyllodes don't quite match, they look a bit cup like, with that curve to them similar to a gumleaf (in your pic).

     

    I'm still thinking this could be Sophorae, will wait for cristop or Glaukus, someone who is confident with IDing.  Thx though Insequent, lol.

  4. Hey peeps, just wondering what this acacia is:

    Location: South Coast NSW
    Flowering: Now (Winter)
    Phyllodes: Quite wide, 20-30mm
    Seed Pods: Specimen too young,
    no signs of pods in the litter or on the tree.

    I'm thinking Sophorae, as it grows wild down here amoungst the sand dunes. I am not far from the sand dunes (40 meters). This acacia has popped naturally from rain water or bird droppings in our backyard.
    Wouldn't be longifolia I don't think, the phyllodes seem too wide. I need to actually cut the thing down (at least to a trunk) to let more light through and locate a buried storm water pipe that needs extending.
    If it is Sophorae, then it's safe to remove isn't it, no big loss there... ?

    Kind regards,
    Skellum.

  5. I have terrible eyes, and I have never seen a meteor in my life.
    In the time it just took me to have a cigarette I saw two.

    This is fkn amazing...  I'm going to rug up and spend some hours out there tonight.  Thx for the heads up Sal!

    Courtii apparently comes in three different phenotypes depending on which of the three mountains it comes from.  Out of the 10 odd I have growing, some are thin and red, others are wider and less red.

     

    Where do you get your seed commy, what are the tubestock, are they one kind of courtii (south, middle or north) or are they from any of the three mountains?

    Which one of the three is most desirable, or does no one have any idea yet - still early days?

    You  dropping the link in this topic knowingly . could of just msged him?.    A mistake easily made.

    No mistake, entirely intentional. The information I asked should be available public, in the courtii thread.

    Having it lost in PM's is not desired... The ebay sellers identity is TOTALLY irrelevant also.

     

    The interesting information in the ebay link, was the reason it was linked.  :P


  8. This ebay link is interesting:

  9. Even cuts get buried like 50mm deep man (2inches), sometimes more...
    I don't know if cutting the wide green growth off and drying/rooting is necessary man, but I'm not hugely experienced.

    I'd just do what you suggested and bury the thinner redder material, with soil line up to the wide desired part.
    Good luck mate, let us know how it works out in a few months time :)


  10. ^Thanks Anodyne appreciate that. Literature only states the use of L-tryptophan, so we will avoid any unknown or mixed batches I'm thinking, and just aim for the tried and true L-isomer. Cheers for that piece of info.

    The human stuff contains 1% Taurine, it must be like a bodybuilding supplement
    Taurine is also in drinks like Redbull, I think I've even heard that it may be extracted from bulls testicles, but this could just be an urban myth...
    I don't imagine that the 1% would cause noticeable problems anyway, what do you think?
