tipz Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) here is a list of the acacias available as tubestock at the belair national park nursery in adelaide. I have stocked up well on acuminata and floribunda and have heaps of these ready to post to anyone interested - but there will be many more in this list that may - or will be of interest... but i will have to go purchase them on request. The plants cost $ 2.95 ( as tubestock - 10.95 for larger specimens ) from the nursery but will bump that up to cover travel costs, time expenditure and postage. Happy to do trades and negotiate on price for larger orders - but i was thinking 2 plants of your choice for fifteen plus postage ! ( like i said - negotiable ) anyway here is the extensive list: acacia: floribunda ** montana (mallee wattle) notabilis (flinders wattle) cultriformis (golden glow) anceps (two edged wattle) spectabilis (mudgee wattle) gilli pendula (weeping myall) papyrocarpa (western myall) ligulata (small cooba/umbrella bush) boormani (snowy river wattle) oswaldi verticillata (prickly moses) melanoxylon (s.a form, blackwood) aneura (mulga) paradoxa (hedge wattle) microcarpa (coonalpyn) verniciflua (varnish wattle) nematophylla cupularis (coastal form - umbrella buh) argyrophylla ( golden grey mulga) wilhelmiana acuminata ( raspberry jam wattle) ( edit to limit two per person - too many requests )** rigens ( needle wattle )** podalyriifolia (mt.morgan wattle/qld silver wattle) beckleri iteaphylla (flinders ranges wattle) brachybotrya (grey mulga) longifolia (var.sophore)** baileyana - purpurea** merinthophora salicina(native willow) imbricata allocasuarina striata ( small bull oak ) vestita ( hairy wattle ) stenophylla ( river cooba ) pravissima (ovens wattle) retinodes.var.retinodes (wirilda) estrphiolata (ironwood) fimbriata (fringed wattle) howittii (sticky wattle) calamifolia (wallowa) leiophylla macradenia (zigzag wattle) pycnantha (golden wattle)** edit = in case of misunderstanding it is the tubestock i am selling ! the plants are at least a year old and average 40cm+ in height. The larger specimens are not that different in size except have a much larger root mass. The cost in postage due to weight and size would make it impractical to send ! the costs i put here are what they cost from the nursery. So asking 15 for two tubestock is not unreasonable ? ( i just had someone thinking i was selling the large ones which cost me 10.95 to purchase - at the two for 15 dollar deal ) So in case anyone else who is making a purchase is confused ! thats the deal !

tipz Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) besides acuminata and floribunda ( which have sold like hot-cakes )does anyone have any info on wether or not any of these other species may be of interest ? Edited August 9, 2011 by tipz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonstn Posted August 9, 2011 Hey mate is it cool to come up to the nursery and have a browse? Just started my acacia collection want to make it gradually bigger. I live northern suburbs so it'll be way easier then posting them Peace buddy P.S do you still have acuminata in stock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tipz Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) Hey mate is it cool to come up to the nursery and have a browse? Just started my acacia collection want to make it gradually bigger. I live northern suburbs so it'll be way easier then posting them Peace buddy P.S do you still have acuminata in stock? sure man - its not my nursery - its a state run nursery ! you would be silly buying them off me if you can go get them cheaper (2.95) a plant or larger ones for 12 dollars and even some more advanced specimens. Only reason im charging a bit more is cause its a bit of a drive - then time involved sorting - replying to trades - then wrapping and posting ! ( have given a fair few away for free though ) - although you might have to get them to order in more acuminatas if that is your main target as i have cleaned them out of all their stock, but there is heaps more types up there and lots of other types of awesome natives as well ! If you look up belair state nursery and give them a call for directions or google the map ( its set within the national park ) its open to the public !

Heretic Posted August 13, 2011 besides acuminata and floribunda ( which have sold like hot-cakes )does anyone have any info on wether or not any of these other species may be of interest ? Hi Tipz. I am no expert, but suspect that all wattles of the Juliflorae section of the acacia genus should be phytochemically assayed. Perhaps somebody knowledgeable in this field can advise? regards, Tom.

tipz Posted August 19, 2011 dont think so blunt, but im sure the wholesale supplier who stocks the nursery would have. There would better places on the internet i would say if you were interested inseed. SAB has a few good types ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CβL Posted August 19, 2011 I have already got a couple from SAB, and have yet to sow them . I should probably get these ones growing anyway before I get more seeds though. Thanks for the tips though. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
