Re: Under-cover Acacias

Hello again, Moira,

I've just sown some seeds of Acacia axillaris, which I obtained from Wildseed
Tasmania, working on the principle that Tasmanians are more likely to succeed
in Britain than most other Australians. I've also just ordered, from the UK's
Australasian Plant Society seed-list, seeds of A.jonesii and A.spectabilis.
The former is described as a small or large shrub, and the latter as a small
or large shrub or tree (!!!) which tolerates cool conditions.

According to The Plant Finder, the acacias currently available in the UK
include the following: Aa. acinacea, adunca, cultriformis, 'Exeter Hybrid',
filicifolia, flexifolia, frigescens, galpinii, kybeanensis, macradenia,
mearnsii, motteana, mucronata, obliquinervia, paradoxa, pataczekii,
retinodes, rivalis, saligna, suaveolens, ulicifolia, vestita, victoriae and
xanthophloea.

I've not included those species that I've already got, or which I know would
be too big for my conservatory. Gosh, so many...!
