SWIM obtained what were claimed to be AC seeds. Now a few months into growth, they look nothing like what SWIM believe AC to look like, namely the following:

- Red striations and coloring, where as AC tends to have a yellow/green color.

- Rounded leaf tips, where as AC has more of a pronounced tip

- Leaf size is more than double what I'm used to seeing

- Stem is red, where as AC growth tends to be green


Anyone have any ideas? SWIM quite disappointed because been taking care of these guys for months, but its no biggie because it was a learning experience.

If it's any consolation they look super healthy
Not sure about the variety though, sorry.

I appreciate it.

These guys are pretty hardy; reminiscent of most acacias, though I do put extra care into them to make sure they are as healthy as possible before being put into their permanent homes; hence why I was a little heart broken when they started having characteristics of a non-AC plant.

Consider that they may turn out to be non-disappointing, in some completely unexpected way. If you can afford the space, would you not have the curiosity to wait and find out what species they are?

Swim definitely has the space, but is trying to prioritize the essentials and get them in their homes as soon as possible, given the minimum required growing time.
