I am planning to give it till the end of summer.I am guessing by the time, it will be into summer which I am not planning to put up a tree. I am thinking of either velvet mesquite or blue palo verde. They should be hardy enough for the frost. Not sure which one is better in terms of shade. I'd like a nice tall tree so that it will shade parts of the house. Thanks for your answer.

Ive grown some acacia tortilis from seed and they are about 6 months old now. I can't find anything online about how to care for them so Im wondering if anyone has some answers for me. What kind of fertilization do they need. What pruning is best? They are getting really tall and I don't want them to get too scraggly so I pruned the top a bit. Watering? Thanks for an help

Did you acquire any of these?

As no one has offered perhaps I should. I haven't grown floribunda but it is a plant local to where I live. Generally speaking wattles are pruned with caution. Tip pruning after flowering is safe though these plants have a naturally dense, bushy habit. There is a plant in a local garden that keeps getting chain sawed off near the base and it continually suckers - but I'm not advising this course of action. It may be an exceptional plant.
