One of our tree ferns has an acacia growing out of its trunk. Ray is all
for just cutting it off but I'm hoping/wondering if, it can be carefully
extracted and potted up. I know they often get all kinds of things
growing
out of them but I think this is the first acacia we've had! Has anyone
tried this 'method' of propagation? ;-)

Snap. I extracted two little chaps and potted them up last summer. They have
grown and are now about 6" tall. Apparently there are a lot of different
acacias who hitch rides on tree ferns and I am not certain which one I have
got. Incidentally the ones left on the tree fern are still OK and green.
