Maitland's Wattle
Family: Fabaceae
Sub-family: Mimosaceae
Characteristics: Small shrub 0.3-7 metres
Seed per packet: Approx. 40
Seed per gram: Approx. 120
A shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.7 to 3 metres, producing globular to obloid bright yellow flowerheads has a diameter of around 5 mm containing 45 to 60 flowers. The inflorescences occur singly in the axil of the phyllodes.
As with most species of Acacia, it has phyllodes rather than true leaves.
The glabrous phyllodes are straight with a narrowly elliptic shape and are 0.8 to 2.5 cm in length and 1 to 3 mm wide
Occurs naturally over the northern region of all mainland states.
Prefer well-drained soil, drought tolerant. Good tolerance of arid conditions.
Pre-treatment: Hot Water
Place the seed in a container, pour in just boiled water, and allow to soak overnight.
The swollen seed can then be sown, and seeds that have not swollen can be re-treated.
Sow seed 3-5mm and keep moist. Germination should occur in 10-21 days @ 18-22C.
*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 keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
