    Thank you for letting me know the information I was really, really curious about. As you told me, I did Thermal Scarification and it sprouted in 3 days. Thank you again.

    Awesome video, mate! I just got 25 seeds of acacia decora in the mail today, and I've put 5 of 'em into a glass with boiled water. We'll see how they turn out!
    Cheers,
    Cal.

    Once they have been treated with hot water place on wet paper towel in black containers they germinate well.the ones that dont scarify.

    Hey I just watched your video and I use my eclectic nail drill for finger nails 😊
    The same method is used for honey locust tree
    Happy gardening
    Great video

    Thanks for the videos. Imbibing in boiling water for 6 hour soak works well on Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) and Bristly Locust (Robinia hispida) seeds.

    I have hundreds of acacia mangium seeds.. i want to plant them a lot as an acacia garden.. the reason i want to plant them is they are very good in produce nectar.. so i can make this garden as stingless bee farm..
    For now i have germinate them like 95% of them using boiling method.. just in 4 days they already germinate

    I’ve brought the African variety to try and bonsai some. After watching your video I’ve boiled the seeds and keeping them indoors as it’s to cold to grow them year round in the uk.

    What kind of acacia is this?

    There's some wild acacias near where I work that I like the look of, (I think theyre acacia decurrens but im not 100% sure) so I took seeds from one like a year ago, I tried this hot water thing with like 10 of them and only one got kinda soft and expanded so I planted that one, fingers crossed I get a tree out of it, if not I'll just wait a few months and get fresh seeds again

    • @TobyJin

      Acacias ususally have quite a high germination rate and seeds do last a decent while so it's worth trying again.

    I used boiling method as you did and it took like 14 to 24 days to germinate. First leaves are green and second leave is yellow. Now it is 2months passed and still the leaves are yellow. We have temperature changes like morning its 15C and noon its 28C. Why leaves are yellow? Any idea? And Can you recommend some fertilizers.

    • @TobyJin
      @TobyJin  2 роки тому +1

      How big are your seedlings? It may be that they are not getting enough nutrients? If you want to fertilise, I suggest a fertiliser lower in phosphorus as many Australian native plants are quite sensitive to phosphorus, which may also cause yellowing of the leaves.

      @@TobyJin thank you for your reply. The seedlings are 1-3cm long and they all sleep at night. Still I am waiting for the other type of leaves.

      If they are still growing, I wouldn't worry too much, the seedlings I started this season had a slow start due to cold nights but after a month they are finally starting to pick up growth and produce the phyllodes.

    Always best to use boiling water that isn't hot.

    • @TobyJin
      @TobyJin  2 роки тому

      The water that I used was just boiled, you can see the steam coming out of it at 1:03, perhaps you could use water that hasn't just been boiled but I have not tried that yet.

      You need a pretty strong vacuum for that.

    What about common sense?
    Pretend the seeds pods fall in the ground in the wild!
    There's no boiling water
    There's no sand paper and still new trees will grow naturally in the wild
    I believe sowing the seeds for more time in water may be couple days will do better.

    • @TobyJin

      Many Acacias in Australia grow in environments prone to fires. They are a group of plants that can persist through fire using a geosporous seed bank, that is the seeds will stay dormant in the ground for many years (sometimes decades) without germinating. Dormancy is broken after a fire or disturbance event which 'breaks' the seed coat, allowing water to reach the inside of the seed and stimulating it to germinate. Hence, in this video, I was showing how the seed coat can be broken to induce the seeds to germinate. In terms of trees in the wild, occasional seedlings do pop up even if there is no fire, but after a fire, you can expect a large amount of Acacias and other plants that use this survival strategy to germinate. Hope that information helps you understand why I grow my Acacias like this.

      @@TobyJin yes,they go dormant for many years.
      I just did an experiment! You know Ants never die in water in rainy days because they also have a hard shell in the body but if Ants get washed with soap that hard shell deteriorated and the water goes thru killing them.
      So i did wash 10 seeds tonight with soap dish for about 5 minutes, I rinse them and leave it water .let's see if my seeds germinate better without boiling water.
