Alot of our indigenous Acacia's are protected.
A. Cyclops showed promise, I'm waiting get my hands on some other acacia samples soon, just dunno when I'll be able to extract though.
I've never found a Karoo that was large enough to start taking from.
Maybe all us Afri-Nexians can get some samples tested professionally somewhere?
Peace

Best of luck! Keep us updated!

Here is a pic of one I will use there is also one about half this size that I am going to try.PrimalWisdom said:Yeah I used to have more time to do test extractions on acacias that grow in south Africa - Esspecially the Alien ones.

What species have you confirmed here in SA?
Do they have to be a certain size? whats the smallest it can be?
The best part to test for spice for not harming the tree will be the phyllodes, although I'm curious about bark content as well.Arczilla said:colour said:..

Actually I'm still researching and PM some members to get the best method of harvesting without damaging the tree. Also I dont really know what part of the tree to use?
I have now narrowed down the Tek, ingredients and the tree that Im going to use has been located, So I am almost set, just refining my harvest method and then its all go, but I want to make sure I have every possible angle covered so that I have a complete composition of the A. karoo extraction.
I really hope this yields something, If not that explains why no one is using that SP
Im still hoping for PRIMALWISDOM to answer some of my previous questions:

Almost all red color in plants is produced by anthocyanins which are powerful antioxidants that mop up damaging free radicals and reactive forms of oxygen in both animals and plants.
