howdy all! miss you guys. anyways my old gf just moved into a nice place in the hills here in LA and i noticed what looks like an acacia but i'm not knowledgeable of the type. was hoping you guys could help. hope all is well and bless the nexus for all the hard work.

So I had various acacia seeds last spring which I planted. I have a couple of little trees which I don't remember what they are, so I'm wondering if someone might know.

..a rare moment of free time, so..thanks SpathiEluder, glad you have gotten something from the nights of acacia research..

ForgotMyPen and Bodhisativa .. thats's Acacia longifolia

mailorderdiety..nice to hear from you...that looks like Acacia stenophylla (which was enquired about in another thread recently)

and BundleflowerPower..great you've gotten on to growing, the trees will thank you..at that age (young) with the juvenile leaves (bi-pinnate) still coming off the phyllodes, it's pretty hard to say what the youngling is (labelling is good) ..could be acuminata..or any of the narrower phyllode species...looks fairly happy though..

keep growing acacia appreciators..

and please be kind to trees...

ps...mailorderdiety, and others in California, this nursery in San Marcos has a nice range of australian acacias ready to put in the ground : http://www.smgrowers.com/info/acacia.asp
.

thanks so much nen! so glad to both get an id and hear from you.. also i love san marcos.. found the most amazing nursery hidden there that specializes in trich cactus.. omg.. they have it all. *edit.. also looked up Acacia stenophylla for alkaloids and couldn't really find anything anybody have any idea. i only have my nose and my frying pan and my grinder and mapacho and lime powder. was thinking of the seeds

Hi, i found this acacia, unfortunately not in flowering and i don't know if the photo are good, anyway what can be ? found it in south of Italy (Sicily island) in holidays.

hi xa..i always find australian acacias naturalised elsewhere interesting..

that's Acacia retinodes, which has naturalised in Italy, Spain and islands off Greece..
it has some potentially interesting things going on, if you search a little..
.

Hi, good, it's 100% acacia retinodes ? are you sure ?
I'll search more, it's interesting, i go there in holidays often and i collect some seed, maybe i can plant them, unfortunately i don't know if i can harvest and take it home, but maybe made an acid brew there and bring back it :-)

Thanks

well i did my own test. toasted seeds, mixed with mapacho and lime dust. tasted almost exactly like yopo seeds. same sort of pressure in head and almost a ringing sound but no visuals.. a nice feeling overall

I came across a weird gathering of acacias(?) the other day. I was at a sports field and noticed plenty of longifolia scattered around the area, but noticed in the distance a collection of rather large trees covered in yellow flowers and thought that they looked quite impressively sized for longifolia, so I went over to them to have a closer look, and of course found that they weren't longifolia at all - and in fact I have no idea what they are.

Just as interesting, there were two very distinct species there, interspersed with some longifolia, so 3 different species, all with nice yellow flowers in bloom all within a 10m radius (though the two unidentified trees have ball style flowers compared to longifolias cylinder style.)

Anyway, I've been browsing through photos in the DMT extraction thread, and randomly pulling up photos of any species to see if I could spot photos which look like these, but not found any yet, so might as well post them here while I'm on....

Anyone know what these are?

FIRST SPECIES:




SECOND SPECIES:
From an older tree:


And a younger plant next to it:

Hey there

Have found two species lately in New Zealand to minimise the possibilities! I think the first is a floribunda and the second a baileyana but interested in others thoughts?
Thank you in advance!

Hello Bumpity bump!

Is this an obtusifolia? I'm pretty convinced that it is.

Note- Please do not cut the bark from a live tree. It is very easy to kill this species if bark is removed. It is also easy to kill this species if a limb is removed incorrectly. A dead (and/ or ring-barked) tree will attract unwanted attention to authorities and is likely to result in reduced roadside plantings. Bark is difficult to work with and there is no need to use bark from this species. Trimming twigs and phyllodes will give you an easy product to work with, will not harm the tree if done sensibly, contains significant level of alkaloid and will result in delicious spicey goo. Suggest A/B BLAB Tek or other of your choosing. Don't harm the plant that gives you the gift of hyperspace. Please consider...

Identify anyone?

One broad and one narrow phyllode. Both cylindrical flowers

Hi Everyone!
Please help me identify this acacia.
Find it on north of Borneo.

Hellooooo, still hoping for some help in identification! Gracias!

zzzwurple your tree in post 989 looks to be the broad leaf variety of acuminata and the other the narrow phyllode variety

bodhisavita, your tree is not obtusifolia.. can't crack this one. its not floribunda and i don't think its longissima either.. where are you based?

forgot my pen, your first tree in post 984 looks to be acacia decurrens and the second looks similar to acacia linifolia but i'm not 100% on that i'll get back to you

JSTAR still pondering yours

ZZZ. Jackpot. Accuminata for sure,
