Australian Blackwood: January 2023 update

timeline:

  • planted in Feb
  • 20+ seeds germinated
  • moved from seed box to two planters in August
  • about 3 inches in October.

…and now its January. Let’s see how they’re doing.

Planter 1: Lush and about a foot high.

This is December.
This is late January.

Planter 2: Lusher and 2 to 3 foot high.

Some at the top got a it sunburned. So a little less up there.

There is some odd behavior in the leaves. The first leaves were pinnate*. Then the higher leaves are linear. And then the linear leaves lead to pinate leaves. I’m guessing this is how it’s forming branches, but it’s wild.

It’s the same tree, so it’s not an interloper.
Linear leaf with pinnate growing at the end.

* My web searches are often for images, so find something that clearly gives what I need. Which lead me to this chart. Then I had a look at the page it’s on. It’s a Montessori chart for primary school kids. And I kind of want the chart.
