here is an acacia. baileyana prostrate
From nursery stock and if you have any advice on improvement I would love to here from you please.

nice tree

I would just keep control of the foliage and repot it

Beautiful tree,
it looks top heavy. This tree reminds me of a wisteria i saw on ebay some time ago. It has a lovely shape to it also. If this was my tree i would snip some of the leaves away, no, i would take them all off just for fun. I can imagine it with all the flowers by them selves. Acasia's always remind me of summer around the corner. They are one of my favourite Australian flowers.
i wish it was mine, its just beautiful. I Know this isnt the advise your after,but i did want to comment on it any way.Cheers!

thank-you for your sweet comments.
I have now trimmed it back ads the flower have just about finished given its a hard prune. I will be re-potting later on.

I also love acacia, a beautiful specie that isnt used much hey.

No ken as u know im new to this native craze thats sweeping through the forum but this was the first native tree that made me actually go out looking for wattles to dig up hahahhahhaha

cheers minh

The acacia in the purple pot is stunning.... but the pot isn't right. It's too small and too shiny. The tree deserves a handmade pot [Pat, are you listening?] that matches its image of age and beauty. Maybe a soft glaze but definitely not a high glaze. When someone has a tree so beautiful why can't they see the pot incompatibility?

i reckon a slightly larger brown unglazed pot

Acaia Howitti - Sticky Wattyl, cascade form

Tree was attacked this year by Looper worm. If you see the foliage being reduced then have a good look for them

Does anyone have an idea as to the best time to repot ?

Ken

After first repot. 2009

Hey peter nice display
What month did you repot?

Ken

I repotted in early January. Normally I would do it around October/November after flowering.
