Acacia hemiteles, commonly known as tan wattle is a bushy shrub that is often broader than it is high with yellow flowers held in small spherical clusters occurring from May to October.
Leaves are around seven centimetres long and 4 millimetres wide. This hardy shrub is often used in re-vegetation.
Endemic to the dry regions around the West Australian Goldfields but has recently been found in Maralinga in South Australia.
Well suited to dry situations and sandy soils. Drought and frost-tolerant.
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.
