Hello Max it's Gabriel greetings from California brother just saw this video hope your nursery is doing well do you have a follow up video and I had a question I have been trying to grow some melliferia but I have a hard time with acacia seeds that are thin like flat seeds do you have any advice? Thank you

[@MaxLemayian]

acacia seeds have a low germination rate unless you scarify or boil them first.

Acacia mellifera is an awsome tree!

@@gabrieltrejo6719 KENYA FOREST RESERCH INTITUTE reccommend for Acacia Mellifera: 1. "Nipping
Nipping is the treatment-involving cutting the seed coat to enable moisture to enter the
inner parts of the seed. This treatment can be done with nail clippers, fine pliers, knives
or a needle. A small scar at the end of the seed indicates the point to nip. One should be
careful not to damage the radicle." www.kefri.org/assets/publications/tech/Tree%20Nursery%20Manual%20for%20Arid%20and%20Semi%20Arid%20Lands%20in%20Kenya.pdf

@@gabrieltrejo6719KENYA FOREST RESERCH INTITUTE reccommend for Acacia Mellifera: 2. "The soaking of seeds in water within a range of 60oC-90oC is often as effective as soaking
at 100oC (boiling water) but there is less chance of damage at the lower temperatures.
This method is normally applied for the seeds with hard coats"
