TheMooseZeus Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hey all! Been a while since i'be been active I'm after some Acacia floribunda seeds taken from wild plants (on properties etc) I seem to have misplaced all mine Happy to $$ or trade if there's anything you're after! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakosystem Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 May I ask why you'd prefer wild seed? There are loads in council reserves near me but obviously planted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the OP is concerned about cross-pollination among acacia species, a problem for seed-collectors in suburban areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flux Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 There are generally noted to be 2 quite different forms of Floribunda - domestic and wild both quite different on form and desired properties. The common, domestic, garden store type has short thin phyllodes with short orange flowers. The rarer-seen, wild bush type has long broad phyllodes with large bushy white flowers (the contrast is not really noticeable in these photos): There are obviously a number of forms that fall somewhere in between which are no doubt the result of hybridisation. The MooseZeus- I do have some seeds that are from a type with long phyllodes but quiet orange flowers grown on a friends property from SAB seed I believe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
