Hi there.... I have mimosa tree seeds (Albizia-julibrissin) and a bunch of seedlings if you would like them. Let me know.

My wife and I went through a Haworthia phase, but it didn't last since most of our nice pots got rained on by all the junky trees we had overhead and over time half the plants rotted out... I still have a few hundred plants, but I can't for the life of me identify even half of them anymore. Here are a few of the pots that did and didn't work This pot was a wife creation and had several nice plants in it... but we have this Acacia baileyana tree in the yard that rains tons of sticky pollen a gazillion little leaves. We really needed to get some shade cloth for these plants. This pot has something else in it now. Tried to keep this pot in sun room, but despite two sky lites and lots of windows, all plants got severely etiolated and then ... well, you know Nice pot my wife put together... actually did well for a seveal years, but in an area under shade cloth and again, too little light after a while this pot did great for 3 years and then several of the Haworthias just over grew all the others... still have it, but it only has 3 huge plants in it now Still have this pot, but is has suffered from raining leaves and sap as well here it is 4 years later this pot was one of the best... wife's creation... sadly the wood rotted and then so did the plants (or many of them.. a lot of them are now planted about the yard and doing well). can't find the early photos of this pot... was a triple decker thing and had some relatively common, cheaper Haworthias.. and now they live in a shadier area (things grow in the yard) and are super green and sort of leggy due to low light.. .but it's still there another creation we no longer have (no clue where this one went) this is one of two razor rock pots and these are extremely well draining pots.. both still exist 4 years later and the plants are still pretty healthy... this one now is in a tad too much sun and this one is in too much shade, but the plants in it are doing well, probably because such good drainage This pot is our best creation (wife's again)... still looks great to this day and it is in the perfect spot in the yard where gets a lot of light, but no direct sun light and no icky pollen or leaves from overhead trees. I didn't upload a photo of the other side, but it is nice as well

Hello... I'm from Argentina, and stumbled on this site when searching for a solution. I have an Acacia baileyana, and I'm afraid it's dying. About 6 months ago, the leaves started to dry and fall, and now almost all the canopy is dry. It's springtime here, and the tree managed to bloom and grow some new leaves... but not much. I also noticed some "wounds" and an amber "goo" coming out of them (any relation with the leaves falling?). The tree is about 20 years old, and maybe it's time to cut it down, but my grandfather planted it the year he died, and my family is very fond of it. Any ideas?????

The flooring installer's comments could be due to real world experience with acacia flooring that either wasn't properly kiln dried, wasn't properly acclimated to the home prior to installation or that contracted due to low humidity conditions that occur in hot, dry climates and in cold climates during the winter. Acacia is harder than domestic hardwoods such as oak and maple which increases its durability. It is harder to dry in the kiln; sometimes it requires two passes to get it within target moisture content of 6% to 8%. If it's installed at a higher moisture content, then it could dry and shrink after installation. It is also susceptible to shrinkage in dry winter conditions if you have a gas furnace without a humidifier. Check with the flooring manufacturer's guidelines and ensure that you are able to maintain those conditions year 'round in your home to avoid problems.
