Any US growers able to get their hands on courtii cuts or seeds? If so, how does it do in your climate? I really like the look of this plant and want to add it to my garden, but can't seem to find it anywhere - wondering what the reason is for this.

I know there are a couple people who scored seeds, but it is a rarity. It's my understanding it's a hard one to keep alive, akin to acacia phlebophylla. Forge a Path with Heart <3

Oh, the infamous acacia C...  Good luck, my friend... A couple people on STS may have access, but you would need to snuff them out, and even then you may find yourself emptyhanded. Those seeds are as rare as I like my steaks to be. Also, if you want to grow an acacia for DMT, why not go with a more common, hardier and higher yielding acacia such as confusa, simplex or acuminata? A. Acuminata var. narrow phyllodes nearly as much DMT in its phyllodes as Mimosa Hostilis makes in its roots (on average). '"ALAS,"said the mouse, "the world is growing smaller every day. At the
beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad
when at last I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have
narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner
stands the trap that I must run into." "You only need to change your direction," said
the cat, and ate it up.' --Franz Kafka

Oopz-just looked at this thread again and realized its close to MHRB on average (.9-1%). Although branches seem to yield somewhere around 1.5% '"ALAS,"said the mouse, "the world is growing smaller every day. At the

I have a narrow-phyllode acuminata plant. However, it is very slow and kind of ugly - I much prefer courtii aesthetically. Frankly, that is more important to me at this juncture than alkaloid content. I like knowing the alkaloid is there so I have an affinity with its 'spirit' or whatever, but I use this molecule so rarely that that's a secondary concern.
I was not aware that courtii was such finnicky one - perhaps that contributes to its rarity. Is it much worse than M. hostilis or A. acuminata? I live in a temperate area and have to bring my mimosa indoors for the winter, and it promptly drops all its leaves and barely pulls through. My acuminata is over a year old and looks like a month-old weed still - in summer sun or under an LED light, the damn thing takes forever.

Yes, it's quite a bit more finicky than those others. I find confusas to be quite beautiful. Madeneiis too. The broader red tilpped phyllode acacias are lovely. Forge a Path with Heart <3
