Acacia riceana Plant - Rare Small Australian Tree or Shrub - Graceful Form
$ 9.51
Description
Acacia riceana Only one available. Very rare in the US, this variable shrub or small tree will sometimes be erect to 24', and sometimes it will be pendulous or even prostrate. The plant I am offering was started from my own tree which is tall and gracefully pendant. The plants have rigid, pointed, dark green phyllodes to 2" (usually much less, as in this one) and, in spring to summer, small, cream-colored, rod-shaped flowers appear, followed by small, twisted, bean-like pods. Naturally occurring in Tasmania, this beauty (though prickly) is adaptable in both coastal and inland situations. Mine are growing among the Redwoods, in cool, moist, northern California, in deep shade, and are very happy. Flowering is not prolific with this species, until mature, yet the pendulous branches are highly ornamental in their own right. Grow in full sun to full shade, in moisture retentive soil - will even accept clay soils. Hardy zones 9 and above. Protect from hard frost when young. Among my favorite Acacias! This offering is for one young, well-rooted and established seedling plant in a 3 1/4" pot - the exact plant seen in the last photo. Ready to be planted into a 1-gallon pot, or directly in the ground (preferred).
