I'll bring some chili seeds. If you have some extra chili or other interesting vegetable seeds bring them to swap.

First noticed the bud forming 3 weeks ago and it has been growing steadily since then. Interesting how the stem below the bud has split.
Anybody else in SE Qld or NNSW see any similar activity?

Added some items to the initial post

First of the Helix Nebula have germinated

Hey Gimli ,
I sowed the BJ seeds today. How long did it take for yours to sprout?
-
It continues to flower and looks like at least 3 berries have formed. The grower tells me that its fruits never get much larger than their current size before aborting.
-
Tried to speak to the resident of the house for more info on the plant, but nobody seemed to be home. Anybody able to provide species ID? Any guesses on how long it would take for fruit to ripen upon successful pollination?

I looked up the address on google earth. Amusingly, the plant (and what I assume is the owner) is visible in street view. Next time I'm in that area, I'll try to get in touch with the grower for more info.

I was in Ipswich, Qld over the weekend and saw a 3m tall Pilosocereus with flower buds. For those of you who grow Pilosocereus in SE Qld or NNSW, are your plants in a similar state?

Bump for link:

I found out that someone did it only recently, with about 30 or so species. I'll have to find the link to published results. -
I have the following to trade:
- Schotia brachypetala (seeds and seedlings collected from several trees: one grower called them "great dirty things")
- Flindersia australis (seedlings)
- Cereus peruvianus (seeds)
In March 2018, I collected seeds from Cereus peruvianus fruits that had ripened and split. The fruit flesh is white, slightly sweet and crystalline. I have sowed a test batch with >80% germination.
Please see below for seeds I'm interested in exchange:
- Chilis (let me know which cultivar/ species)
- Butia capitata from a tree that produces good-tasting fruit
- Cereus jamacaru
- Cereus validus
- Pilosocereus (let me know which species)
- Myrtillocactus geometrizans
- Trichocereus (let me know which cultivar/ species)
PM me if interested in swapping (even if you have stuff that is not on my wanted list). Australian residents only. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi Gimli,

I'd like to try these chilis

On 10/6/2017 at 1:07 AM, Gimli said:The usual host tree in plantations is the Acacia acuminata. Other host plants can be Acacia victoriae (and other nitrogen fixing plants - so other FABACEAE also?). Even Casurina obesa can be used. The common host in the wild is Acacia aneura (Mulga), which is also extremely slow growing. I will be doing some experiments to see if they are able to use Eucalyptus for hosts, among some other Genus
On 3/29/2018 at 8:52 PM, Gimli said:No, I have not. 99% of the hosts we have are Acacia acuminata broad phyllode. A handful of Allocasurina spp and a single A acuminata narrow phyllode.
No experiments here - fully working plantation!
Have you given up on the experiments mentioned in your 1st post?

Question for the recipients of cuttings from the S. hamatus sent by Jox: has is this plant flowered in your care?
-
Nice work you're doing. Have you ever seen Sandalwood fasten onto an exotic nitrogen fixing plants , e.g., Leucaena leucocephala, Poinciana ? Would you be using exotic hosts in your experiments?

I've got Hibiscus sabdariffa (roselle) seedlings and a Eugenia uniflora cutting to bring along if anybody wants. Let me know if interested.
