How to Propagate Acacia acinacea
The tiny, hard seeds of Acacia acinacea, the Prickly Moses, lie dormant, like secrets whispered on the wind. Scarification, a gentle rasping against their stubborn coats, is the first step in coaxing life from their petrified slumber. Weeks of chilled, damp darkness follow, a mimicking of winter’s embrace. Then, a tentative green shoot, a fragile spear pushing through the soil – a triumph against the odds, a testament to patient persistence. Each tiny seedling, a reward for the long wait, promises a future filled with the silver-grey shimmer of leaves and the vibrant burst of sunshine-yellow blossoms, a tangible manifestation of nature’s resilience.
