Acacia Saligna, Australia Golden WattleOrange Wattle, (25 Seeds) Acacia Saligna grows as a small, dense, spreading tree with a short trunk and a weeping habit. It grows up to eight meters tall, sometimes developing a spreading crown. Flowers are large golden to orange balls in spring. Cultivation: Generally adaptable in cultivation, responds to sunny, reasonably well drained positions in most soils. Useful as a tall background plant. Very fast growing, hardy, and resistant to salt spray. § Frost hardy (will tolerate frosts to -7 C) § Suitable hedge or screen plant. § Resistant to salt spray. § Suitable for planting in tropical area Prefers well-drained soils and is drought tolerant. Acacia Tree Seed GerminatingPropagation: It is recommended that all equipment and soil to be used (if not purchased commercially) be sterilized to prevent any possible contamination from soil pathogens or production of weeds. 1. Seed mix. Seed mix may be purchased or mixed using 3 parts river sand (not beach) and 1 part well composted pine bark, peat moss or vermiculite. A small amount of slow release native plant pellets may be added. 2. To grow from seed use a freely draining seed mix placed in plastic containers or punnets. Acacia seeds need to be treated before sowing to enable moisture to penetrate the normally hard seed coat. One method is to place seeds in a container, cover with near boiling water and soak overnight. Seeds which swell are ready for sowing, the remainder may be re-treated. Another method is to scarify the seed. This is done by rubbing the seeds between two pieces of sandpaper thus thinning the seed coat to allow water to penetrate. If few seeds are to be sown it is possible (but normally difficult on account of the very hard seed coat) to nick the top of the seed away from the seed stalk with a sharp blade or needle without damaging the soft part of the seed. Seeds should be sown about 5 mm apart in prepared soil mix, lightly covered with mix to the depth of the seed or a little more, lightly pressed flat, watered and the containers placed in a semi-shaded site and kept above ground level or placed in a propagation unit. Soil should be kept moist but not wet. Germination can occur between a few days and a few weeks. Remember to label all pots with plant names and date of planting.
