Acacia xanthophloea

After an overnight soak in heated water, some of these have already swelled up and will get planted today

These leaves fold up during the night

Wow,
I never realized how quick acacias grow. They are hardy here and make great looking trees.
They bloom yellow flowers in abundance and fairly early in the year.

As quick as these are they are fun to grow, and some very nice specimens in the PNW!
Acacia xanthophloea grows a lime green/yellow bark which I think is very striking

Hoping I can get one to bloom in a container.

Getting taller, and finally starting to branch & increase stem diameter.
Was also able to start some cuttings off these

Steve that greenhouse is going to need a taller roof and but soon.

Those are growing fast!

John, was cold enough in the GH this winter to defoliate them, but they have bounced back !
I may be okay for a little while, since hitting the roof, they seem to be branching out now......

Do have plans this year to replace the roof in the original section of the GH, maybe try to add about 3-4' in height.

Getting taller, think these are going to overwinter in the house

Oops,

O.K. so now what?

Surely if you can raise the roof 3' you can raise it 6'

Knnn · Post by **Knnn** » Sun Sep 12, 2010 2:04 pm

Think these will barely fit in the house for the winter, or maybe not

Sorry Steve, missed this post.
Amazing growth on those two.

That fever tree looks similar to what grows here (outside).
I think ours are called Black Locust, they have some thorns, but leaves look the same.

Wouldn't it be great if you discovered it could be grown in zone 5?
