Awesome Jamie! Do you know if is an active strain?

 

[Jamie01]

I was told the seeds came from an active tree so I assume yes.

This guy has some awesome uploads on Acacias. Definitely worth checking out:

Heat wave scorched one of my trees. Too many days of sudden intense UV/heat I guess. My greenhouse is covered in pollen and I think it’s filtering the light as well so when I moved the cacti and other stuff out to the yard this year I could tell it was a shock even though the greenhouse gets full sun all day. These trees are small still but they spent an entire winter outside in the PNW so that’s something.

Out of the 4 I have one was totally fine with it so maybe that’s the one that will do well here. Still have a bunch of cool acacia seed to grow out gifted like a dozen years ago so thanks for that if your reading this. Maybe someday a floribunda can go in the ground here. Mimosa hostilis on the other hand suffered winter elimination so if you have them in the PNW protect them in winter lol.

The first pic is the healthy tree that survived the heat/sun. Second is the worst of the 4. I think they will recover in the shade

I notice all my acacias become significantly stronger and resilient when they are planted in the ground. I'm in their native climate but I would bet the healthy floribunda would be okay if planted outside next spring. Not sure if that's an option for you but they really don't seem to respond well to root boundness ime. Only thing in what I imagine of a PNW climate is just making sure to plant in a more free draining area. Floribundas are hardy beasts though.
