There are about 1000 species of wattles in Australia. Another favourite of mine is Acacia pravissima or Ovens valley wattle. Exceptionally beautiful and would do well where you are. In fact you can have a collection of wattles, so that every month of the year you will have flowers! Best wishes from Victoria Australia.🐸😎🦋
You can use cow manure and it will go crazy 😅 but remember fertilizing trees is in winter not summer; as manure will keep the tree roots warm and full of all benefits. Nice video, greeting from Dubai 👍🏼
Thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful story from seed to sapling. Very well done video Tom. Am looking forward to seeing your sapling become a tree. BTW you have a BEAUTIFUL yard...LOVE your fountain and hummingbirds; and all your wildlife cameos.
Thanks for your thorough process you've shown. Acaia are beautiful. They are on the California list of invasive species but not sure how much caution is needed.
Not sure about the botanical side, but with the comments about dropping limbs and the seeds needing cooking to germinate, I'm gonna guess that these are plants you want to keep an eye on during wildfire season.
Ive just bought one 4ft tall. I had no idea they grew so fast. Thats good because my area was burnt out in a firest fire. Looking forwards to seeing it in flower. They grow here in Spain quite well. I might get a couple more. Thanks for a wonderful video.
Sympathies on the forest fire. My Acacia Baileyana tree is almost three years old now. It is larger and currently blossoming with yellow poms. Good luck.
Interesting question. 1. How much land do you have and what location are you considering planting it at on your property? 2. What is your reason for selecting this tree?
Two of the average growth Acacia Baileyana saplings, which are about four feet high, were planted about two weeks ago, directly in the ground. I would consider them normal at about 20 months. That tall one of the group was planted at the same time and still has its stake. Its "trunk" is widening but it still needs to be supported. I have not re-staked it nor will I. It has grown about a foot or so taller. You are welcome to check back in July to get an update on that unusually fast-growing sapling.
From what I've read they are not supposed to lose their leaves. I've seen a couple growing in zone 10 in my area during the winter, and they were blooming profusely with bright yellow flowers.

I love videos like this that are a complete video it's a true labor of love for plants. I have several that took years to complete. Well done.

Wow 👌 👏 😍
Hey great job! Thanks for the info resources. I too am planting in the same zone. What do you think about planting black locusts in this zone? Thanks

I was wondering if you are able to release those Acacia Baileyana from the supporting stake and can they stand alone?

Does Bailey acacia loose it’s leaves in winter in zone 10?
From what I've read they are not supposed to lose their leaves. I've seen a couple growing in zone 10 in my area during the winter, and they were blooming profusely with bright yellow flowers.
@@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732 I’ve been told both ways! Thanks for clarifying!
