As part of our propagation and cost a project assesment Glyn from CLM has asked us to propagate native seeds for his CLM class. He asked for a certain number of seedlings per plant. A formula was worked out on how many seeds we would need by weighing them out.
The seeds we have so far propagated have been:
Acacia verticillata, Allocasurina verticillata, Bursaria spinosa, Eucalyptus moraea, Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus ovata, Eucalyptus pulchella, Eucalyptus risdonii, Ficinia nodosa, Gahnia filum, Gahnia grandis, indigofera australis, Juncus pallidus, Lamandra, logifolia, Poa labillardierei, Poa rodwayii, Themeda triandra.
The seeds were placed in cells, punnets or forrestry tubes and a native prop mix was used. Also on the list was Dianella revoluta and Dianella tasmaniaca. These can take a very long time to germinate, so it was decided to do these by division. We pulled out some clumps that were on the school gounds and divided them. They were root prunned and the leaves cut right down to the base. They were then placed into forrestry tubes in a native mix.
