General It is an exotic from Australia. Grows on eroded, rocky, thin mineral soib and also on deeply weathered or alluvial soils. It 1 also thrive on acidic soil with pH as low as 4.5. Pretreatment: 10 parts of boiling water is added to I part of seed and allowed to stand for 30 seconds. Then the hot water is poured off and it is replaced by normal water and kept overnight for soaking. Nursery Technique: Pretreated seeds are broadcasted on primary beds and covered lightly with fine sand or pulverised soil. Seedlings are pricked out into polybags when the first pair of leaflets appear.
