Acacia riceana Seeds - Rice's Wattle

Description: Acacia riceana Seeds (Rice's Wattle) Very rare in the US, this variable shrub will sometimes be erect to 24', and sometimes it will be pendulous or even prostrate - the seeds I'm offering here are from my own trees, which are tall, very pendant and flowing. The plants have rigid, pointed, dark green phyllodes to 2" (usually much less) and, in spring to summer, small, cream-colored, rod-shaped flowers appear, followed by small, twisted, bean-like pods. Naturally occurring in Tasmania, this beauty (though prickly) is adaptable in both coastal and inland situations. Mine are growing among the Redwoods, in cool, moist, northern California, in deep shade, and are very happy. Flowering is not prolific with this species, yet the pendulous branches are highly ornamental. Grow in full sun to full shade, in moisture retentive soil - will even accept clay soils. Hardy zones 9 and above. Protect from hard frost when young. Among my favorite Acacias! One packet contains 15 freshly harvested seeds. Detailed sowing instructions are included. Please note: The seeds are fresh and viable - success in their germination is up to you - and will be achieved by carefully following the instructions included with your seeds. Sowing seeds requires cleanliness, practice and patience, and frequently have specific requirements and pretreatments. There is a learning curve. I say this because people generally blame the seeds or the seller for a failure in germination, when, in actuality, it is generally because of the one doing the sowing... With that said, I wish you the best of luck with the seeds, and if you have any questions with getting them started, please feel free to contact me. I've been growing and collecting rare and exotic plants for over 45 years and sowing seeds has been a specialty. Most of the trees and shrubs that are growing in my 4 acre garden have been started from seeds; there is something very satisfying about that. All photos are of plants in my own collection - unless stated otherwise. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING - SORRY - I ONLY SHIP TO THE US. I do combine shipping for multiple items - please request a new shipping total before checking out. Thank you! Upon arrival of the seeds/cutting/plant, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I want you to be happy with your purchase and to have the greatest success in its cultivation! Thank you for checking out my ebay offerings. Robert
