IceCube Posted December 27, 2014 I've found a place to collect seed in March or whenever they set 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darklight Posted December 27, 2014 I've found a place to collect seed in March or whenever they set In Canberra? The references I've seen say they flower in their range in Spring and fruit in December, YMMV. Am close to their native range but I've never seen one. Illegal in NSW anyhow, even tho they're native. Chemovars would be of interest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceCube Posted December 28, 2014 Sorry I should update my location to Brisbane where I am living now...took some photos of the sample last year, need a positive ID as this one doesn't have the dots on the stem...will upload when on computer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceCube Posted December 28, 2014 No cutting took unfortunately, so I am going to air layer/plant seed. The property owner guided me to it as he had people from the university surveying the land and they mentioned the significance of it etc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
