Patience, young grasshopper Edit: final threshing and winnow yield is around 80,000 seeds by weight estimate.

Scarlet Dragon Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I am in the US so am not asking for you to send seeds, however I am about to start my own batch of a.confusa and would love some special advice for sowing & growing. Or a thread referral if there's one you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omnilucident Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hey @Gimli Do you have any photos of your trees? I've been out picking seeds today up near Moora and while I'm pretty sure they're broad variety, the phyllodes are much longer and thicker than the ones down around York. Also curious as to your harvest method. I've just gotten maybe 500-750 seeds and had to painstakingly split each pod and rub my nail down them to disconnect every seed. I imagine your using a sieve of some variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine your using a sieve of some variety. Here are the only photos I really have. I have found that broad phyllode is pretty consistent over it's entire endemic range. Without flowers it's hard to say for sure. If you could smell the heart wood that would help also... Did you take photos of the specimen(s) you collected from? I hand* threshed the pods and the seed basically fell out. Does help if they are really dry. Then winnowed it a few times.

omnilucident Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 They do have the distinctive smell, i tore some bark off a recently toppled tree and gave it a whiff. Looks to be the same stuff except almost all the trees up here have some kind of parasitic growing through parts of them. I'll post photos in a separate giveaway thread with some unidentified local acacias that i'm hoping someone can help me identify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
