Growing Instructions:
For best results plant your tree in an area where it will receive full sun. Water occasionally, only once or twice a month during the growing season once your tree is established. Use nearly any type of soil, including sandy, clay heavy, or soil that is highly alkaline or acidic. Although acacia prefers well-drained soil, it tolerates muddy soil for short periods of time.

Absolutely beautiful plant! Shipping was quick!

I placed a seed in a tea cup, covered it with water heated in an electric kettle, and soaked it overnight. The photo shows what the seeding looks like on day 7. I sent a message asking for instructions about sowing these seeds. It was a three day wait for the response. :(


Arrived as expected in decent condition.
