This blooms early March, and if we get sunshine the perfume pervades the whole garden! I keep it well pruned as it would get too large! The Bees love it.

That is interesting that you can grow Acacia successfully in UK PoetG. Is it in sheltered sunny spot?

Amazingly, it is so hardy I have it in the back garden where we have colossal gales often blowing down the river! Even in this terrible Spring when I had to shake the snow from the branches it was up and flowering!
This was a cutting I brought back from Portugal in the 80`s. I keep it well trimmed or it would turn into a giant!

I guess that is how it has to be "imported" because we could never find it here on Vancouver Island. They do not sell "non-profitable" plants :-(

What a shame.It is one of the best plants I have grown in 45yrs of gardening!I don`t think I`m allowed to post cuttings to Vancouver?

That is very generous offer PoetG, but I do not know if it would be legal. We go "south" every winter so I will have an opportunity to "smuggle" a piece from there. I just did not know I can grow one in our climate...which is very similar to UKs.

I looked on the `not allowed site` and it says No plant material. I thought it would as you wont want English bugs!!! ( we don`t want some of them either but are stuck with them!!) Good luck, let me know if you get some.
