ACACIA acuminata 10g
Raspberry Jam Wattle
Family: Fabaceae
Characteristics: Tall shrub to small tree generally to 5m
Seed per packet: Approx. 20
Seed per gram: Approx. 65
An upright and fast-growing shrub or small tree with golden yellow rod-shaped flowers 2.5 cm long is produced near the ends of the branches.
Bright green phyllodes (leaves) around 10 cm long and about 2mm-8 mm wide finishing in a point.
In ideal conditions the Raspberry Jam Wattle can grow to a height of 10 m but in cultivation usually no more than 5 m.
The timber is widely used in woodturning due to the beautiful grain and aroma of raspberry jam for some time after cutting.
Easily grown in most temperate areas and suited to a range of soils including limestone provided it is reasonably free draining. Flowers are best in full sun, frost hardy and drought tolerant with medium salt tolerance.
Tolerates Arid conditions.
Occurs naturally in the IBRA Regions of the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Great Victoria Desert, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Murchison, Nullarbor, Swan Coastal Plain, and Yalgoo in Western Australia.
For best results, sow the seeds in spring or early summer. Sowings in autumn and winter may result in slow germination, weaker seedlings, or germination failure.
- soak in water for 24-48 hours.
- Next, soak seeds in near boiling water overnight to help soften the tough exterior and improve germination.
- Sow the seeds to a depth equal to the seed's width.
Germination: Typically occurs within two weeks.
Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to germinate, keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
- The customer should do their due diligence that they are suited to their region.
