How to Propagate Acacia cyclops
The hard, dark seed of the coastal wattle, a tiny jewel hinting at golden blooms to come, resists the earth’s embrace. Scarification, a gentle violence, is required – a file’s whisper against its shell, or the shock of boiling water, coaxing it to yield. Days stretch into weeks, a test of patience, each tiny sprout a victory hard-won against dormancy. The scent of damp earth mingles with the faint, sweet fragrance of nascent leaves, a promise whispered on the breeze. Success, when it comes, is a tangible joy, a testament to the gardener’s dedication, the flourishing miniature replica of the sun-drenched coastal giant.
