These trees that we call the Rose Acasia grow wild at our country homestead. We would like to market them but need more information about when to transplant them, the specs regarding transplanting these trees, the soil best to use, etc. If anyone has any valuable info we can use, please respond.
Thank you
When I dug my little tree up I made sure to leave the rootball in tact. I am sure the amount of soil I removed with it was much larger than the actual roots themselves. The plant didnot grow very much this year but if is still alive and well. The deer left it alone LOL. Although I will not be planting any more prickly plants until my new baby gets much older.. I dug and replanted in July 2005, I have had no ill effects from the drought times or from late frosts. I planted it and treated it like any other planting here in the south. I do plant high and mulch in well with everything even my annuals. It has been a pleasing addition to my landscape which is casually formal since I have to plant in walled beds around the peremeter of the property as not to add any obstacles for my sight impared father to trip around. Anyway if someone can get them through the first year I think they will be pleased. Alot of folks do not like the fact that it does tend to have babies around the bottom from fallen seeds, but they are easily removed and disposed of...I have found transplanting of the much smaller trees to be very unsuccessful.
