I should have said, I am in Adelaide, South Australia, 34 deg
South, we never get frost, and are at about 50m above sea level
with alkaline soil.
Interestingly, my immediate neighbour and I planted Acacia baileyanas
when our Hakeas fell over. Hers has flourished, despite being in more
shade than mine. Mine, which unlike hers is the 'Purpurea' variety has
sort of bonsaied itself and is the subject of constant attacks by cottony
cushion scale. I planted it mainly because of the foliage which I like
cutting to put indoors. These 2 trees are no more than 10 metres apart.
Kind regards
Liz
