Dear all,
I'm not quite sure why my message, which
was posted on 22 March, (hence the Easter
greetings) has now suddenly appeared on
the listserv two & a half months later - very
odd!!!! Where has it been all this time, I ask
myself!
The question still applies however - I did some
subsequent checking around the topic of acacias
& found references that suckering towards water
sources of some types was a nuisance factor,
(from memory this information was on a South
African site, referring to the invasion of the
fynbos by unwanted vegetation)
The odd thing is the flowering period -
definitely summertime, after Christmas;
I had always thought acacias were spring
flowering, but then we probably only see in NZ
a small percentage of the huge numbers
of varieties which make up the Acacia family.
So. they may well not be acacias!
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
