Propagation
The hard coated seeds require scarification by placing them in hot water (90° C) for one minute or mechanical scarification can be applied. Sow the seeds in a well drained media and maintain a temperature between 20 to 30°C (68ş-.86ş F) Germination occurs within 10 days and when large enough to handle prick-out and pot up.

Take soft cuttings during spring or apply air layering during the growing period.

Flower: The tiny pale to bright yellow tubulate flowers are arranged in a cylindrical spike that is up to 60 mm (2? in)long by 7 mm (Ľ in)in diameter and have a scurfy peduncle up to 7 mm (Ľ in)long. They appear solitary or in a cluster up to 4 in axils along the stems from a summer to autumn in subtropical regions and from autumn to early winter in a tropical regions.the flowers are pollinated by bees or insects.

Fruit: The light to dark brown twisted or straight woody oblong pod is up to 100 mm (4in) long by 20 mm (ľ in) wide and has heavy diagonally arranged veins on the outer surface.

General information on pruning Acacia species
Tolerates a light prune after flowering back to a node, remove any dead wood back to the collar. If there is insufficient light towards the base of the tree prune the crown to allow the light in. The plants tend to be easily damaged by wind or borers, and damaged material should be removed.
