Acacia acuminata in NZ

[Jamming]

Hello everybody

I had a go at searching but wasn't too successful

I would like to plant some Acacia acuminata on my property in NZ but I'm having trouble sourcing or really finding info about it over here

Can anyone help me out?

Cheers

Not in NZ, but I got seeds from Australia and germinated them.

It's quite hardy and should grow well for you.

Yeh. I've read it's a great plant. How long ago did you start growing your plant/s and how has the progress been?

I am struggling to find anyone who can deliver seeds to or in NZ
It seems like aussie suppliers do not shit them out of the country

maybe a US seed vendor ?

I was gonna recommend this site, but it's down (hopfully only for the moment): https://sharetheseeds.me/forum/index.php

I got seeds from Australia twice, both times off eBay.

My first batch of seedlings died due to neglect.
This year I germinated two seeds, one died of transplant shock, the other is thriving. It's still in a pot, I'm going to plant it out next season.
