Botany The Acacia Grow Thread

Migrated topic.
Hey cheesecat yh I've lost one in clay but it was heat stress related, still have another rin clay soil that's doing well and another in a elevated garden bed of sandy loam which is huge now.
Thanks @_Trip_. A raised garden bed is probably something I should do. Glad you're having success with phleb, it's a unique looking acacia. This is the disease I was talking about, pretty certain it's from excessively wet roots. Acuminata and phleb seem to be quite sensitive comparative to other species.

I'm no expert but there's a lot of fungal rusts that acacia is susceptible to. Copper sprays and fungicides generally help. But it's also appears more seasonal at least where I am. Phlebs do dry out and drop a lot of phylkodes though. Perfect for extractions.
