ACACIA disparrima
Southern Salwood
Family: Fabaceae
Characteristics: Shrub 1.5-4 m or Small tree 3-9 m
Seed per packet: Approx. 30
Seed per gram: Approx. ~45
Acacia disparrima produces cylindrical yellow-lemon yellow flowers between January and May, occurring singly or in pairs in the axils; the cylindrical flower heads have a length of 2-7 cm long.
Depending on the location the flowering period varies from January to May.
Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves.
The pale green to dark grey-green phyllodes are curved like a sickle with a length of 4-5 cm and a width of 0.5-3 mm.
The seed pods are straight to moderately curved and usually twisted. The woody pods are 2.5-10 cm in length and 10-20 mm wide.
A species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae occurs naturally in Queensland and northern New South Wales on the edges of rainforests behind the coastal sand dunes.
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.
