Hey guys I just wanna see how big other peoples Mimosa and Acacia trees they grew from seed are. I have some about 2.5 years old and I will get some pics later of them. I transplanted most of them to 5 gallon buckets a few weeks ago and their growth has picked back up. They are branching out like mad. The trunks on the bigger ones are maybe a little over a half inch thick. When I transplanted there was a lot of roots that got trimmed off the bottom. I threw it out but when dry it was about 10 grams. so whos got pics????

LMAO that one almost compares to my pickle ID thread. remember that one? hehe but seriously though.... I think we can gather a good ID recource and give a good idea to people the growth rates ect......
the info and pics on the net sucks. you can find either young seedling pics or huge trees but not much in between.

Heres a pic of mine. It's still pretty young and I recently had to move it because of to much wind and sun but other than that it's doing pretty well. The stems are just starting to mature and turning from green to brown.

Do you top yours or anything? They look nice outside w/ their bark. I've got some Mimosa hostilis and pudica growing. Maybe I'll get a picture or two if I'm not so lazy later on.

Pattern, no I don't top them. They branch out in their own. After transplanting and putting them outside in the sun they should get some serious growth where they are branching out this summer. I grew some Pudica a few summers ago. cool plant
Justme, nice babies. I wouldn't worry about planting peas or anything for the nitrogen fixing bacteria. Mine sure didn't need it. A few of them got it but the others are doing just as well.

Quote:
How Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria Improve Soil Fertility Nitrogen is one of the most important chemical elements for plants. If there is not enough nitrogen available in the soil plants look pale and their growth is stunted.
Nitrogen fixing plants are called legumes. Legumes - and all peas and beans are legumes - are plants that work together with nitrogen fixing bacteria called Rhizobia, to "fix" nitrogen.
The Rhizobia chemically convert the nitrogen from the air to make it available for the plant.
Legume plants live in a symbiotic relationship with the nitrogen fixing bacteria - the Rhizobia live in nodules in the plant's roots. This way the plant can look after its own nitrogen needs. Fertilizer is not required.
In addition, when the crop is harvested and the plant cut back to ground level, the root nodules should release all the valuable fixed nitrogen for following crops.

thanks uare Justme, yeah a lot of info on the net about growing Mimosa's and Acacia's they say they need the Nitrogen fixing bacteria. Some of my Mimosa's and Acacia's I did plant Legumes in with them and after a while I cut the legumes off at the soil line. Just to see if there was any difference I didn't plant legumes in some. well they turned out just the same so far. also mine were indoors all their life until a month and a half ago. They are some of the easiest plants I have ever grown
nighty night time.....

How old were they before you acclimated them to more sunlight? I have mine in full shade and they seem to really love it, but I've read that once they mature you can move them to sunnier locations. Mine are probably around 5 months old.
Also do you bring yours in for the winter? I'm in USDA None 9b-10a. I'm wondering if I should bring it in for it's first winter at least. Salvia D. seems to do alright outside here but others like Chacruna and kratom don't seem to like it as young as mine are. At least when the wind chill brings the temps even lower they don't. Are Mimosa Hostillis plants more cold hardy?
I noticed when I had it in a location not protected from the sun well eneough the leaves looked as if they started to burn and turned yellow. Now I've moved it to a better shaded are it's doing much better.

well when you put them out into the sun you need to acclimate them to it slowly over the course of a few weeks. give them 10 minutes of sun a few times a day and slowly bring the duration up. as far as cold hardiness I am not sure yet. Mine have been indoors for 1.5 to 2 years and this is their first summer.
