Entheogenic Acacia Growing Guide

Australia has more Acacia species than anywhere else on earth. Outside of their habitat, growing Acacia might seem a bit tricky, so we’ve put together a new resource to teach you how to grow Acacia trees, step by step. Some handy tricks include shocking the seeds with heat prior to planting, to replicate a bushfire, and the use if rhizobia inoculant soil.
In addition to their beauty and entheogenic qualities, Acacia trees are a vital part of the environment. Growing local wattle benefits the plants and animals already at home in your garden, and can make a positive contribution to your ecosystem. Harvesting wild Acacia is a genuine conservation threat; cultivating Acacia can also reduce pressure on wild populations and help us preserve and cultivate threaded species.
Entheogenesis Australis is grateful for the support of the ethnobotanical team that developed this resource. Authored by Acacia pioneer, Communacacian and ethnobotanist Dr Liam Engel with contributions from Jonathan Carmichael, Tony Davey and Sianna-Rose.
