One of mine A. gregorii seeds came up a week ago. It is pushing out its first real leaves but I guess the colder weather is slowing it down right now.

Cheers,

Any tips for germination guys?

Do the seeds need to be nicked or soaked first?

Ive sowed some in 6" deep sand/seedling mix, each seed about 1/2-3/4 an inch below top.

Thanks. :)

I believe I nicked, scrapped my seeds before I soaked them in warm water (hot water from the tap)

and then planted them and kept them above 20ºC

I'll try it again this spring with the rest.

When would their growing / germinating season be? The wet season, December-ish?

Where do they normally live?

My thoughts would be treat it like a cactus/Acacia cross :rolleyes:
