Acacia dunnii (elephant ear wattle)

[--Shadow]

Acacia dunnii (Elephant Ear Wattle) is a very interesting species from northern Western Australia, the Kimberleys and the Northern Territory..it likes gravely soil..it has been introduced to west africa..
i have no specific medicinal or chemical information on it..perhaps someone does..

a great species to grow for it's distinctive phyllodes..

I've had 100% success rate with dunni seed germination, they seem very easy after an overnight soak in boiled water. I must say, the seeds are enormous! These are some sitting next to a. radolens (vanilla wattle).

The thought of hybridizing dunnii X acuminata(narrow) seems like a great-dane X chihuahua

I have some leaves, which are amazing, but haven't got around to testing them!
