Hello everyone, peace and love to you all.
I know this isn't the right place to post but still not a full member.
So I've been growing some Obtusifolia, out of 20 seeds only 5 sprouted but they all lasted the English winter and are starting to sprout again. I only have a small garden so i picked the strongest 2 and planted in medium pots for this year. But i still have 3 left was going to plant in local woods, do you think this is ethical? I don't want to upset the natural balance but It's not a fully natural woods on MOD land and mainly coppiced trees. Any thoughts?

did you decide to plant in the wild? did they survive the winter?

if you going going to plant them about the place I would pick more urban areas that are already have weeds everywhere/trees from other lands. Planting them in the wild in native ecosystems I think is quite unethical but if you plant them in places where they are not going to interfere with the native wild life then I guess its no differen't to planting any other tree .. I'm interested in others thoughts on this though..

My opinion is that not planting active acacias in urban locations when one has the opportunity to do so would be unethical, given the destruction that commercial harvesting of source plants has wreaked. Wild native ecosystems in Britain are a little thin on the ground and thus very easy to avoid.
