I spent today potting Acacia fimbriata seedlings into tubestock.
I had gathered the seed a few months ago, cleaned it, soaked it in hot water for two days then put it into seed trays. A great success about a hundred seedlings germinated.
I had less success with Acacia complanata. I only planted 20 seeds because so many were malformed or damaged. I was not very attentive when the seeds sprouted; only one seeding survived to be potted.
I look forward to planting them out later in the year.
