    Katapang Trees

    Hi Mighty Matt I think that could be a good reason ther are trees from south america like the jacaranda they are originall from jungels ther are a number of other trees that come from similer climates that do the same some gingers are deciduase so this kind of behavier in botanical speicies is not just restricted to temprate zones you can also find evergreens in extreamly cold conditions (Aint nature grand) Hey Ness do you meen pictures or me feeding the two darlings LOL Cheers Les

    Katapang Trees

    Thats correct Princess Botanica When trees get ready to lose there leave a certain amout of nutrients and elements are taken back in to the tree thus the leaves turn brown and drop of but in this process certain elements are left in the leaf and this is what every one is after in the tanins that are produced by the leafs I have a break down of an analasis some where of what it is for catapang I would like to try the bark as that should be a consentrait of the leaf but first and formost you where right the leaves have to brown and drop to reach ther full potential Cheers Les

    Katapang Trees

    LOL at you two It should be about twelve months befor the first drop The size of the tree isnt realy a problem as I will polard them at ten foot then keep the auxilery branchess not to long and prune back each year. This method is used to keep tall trees under control as street trees and should work on the Katapang if not my brother inlaw has a huge property and he wont mind growing some or I could secretly at night plant them all over Perth and call myself The Katapang Ninja cheers Les
  14. Hi Sarah I have a chance to buy some Axoloti like the pic of Bastante and about his size they are ten bucks each is that a good price do you think I want the as a suprise for my nephew and niece when they come to live hear so do you think a very responsible 10 year old could look after one she has a python if that helps Cheers Les
  15. what kind of a set up do you have for them Razzi
  16. Hi all Affter writing to I dont know how many people trying to find some one who sells Katapang seed I eventualy asked at the shire in Cairns and the guy ther was from Perth so he sent me about ten seed which was so good of him to prep the seed and plant I did as follows Prepare seeds 1. Dehusked the seed (take all vegtable matter away from around the seed kernal) 2. Two seeds left as is 3. Two seeds the kernal slightly opened (use secaters to remove part of the kernal untill the seed shows set to one side Prepare the potting mix 1. place potting mix in small pots and pour boilling water over the potting mix and allow to cool After potting mix cooled I placed the seeds just below the surface of the soil and put the pots into a propagater with bottom heat I labled the seeds so I knew which ones where which and low and behold two weeks later I have two Katapang seeds germinate they wher the ones that had part of the kernal removed (I Use this method when germinating Mangoes) It was an easy job so they have now been placed in the glass house and will be potted on when I have a few more leafs on them cant wait for them to be big enough to plant in the garden Cheers Les
  17. Thanks Ness The bottles I can get are 750Ml so thats perfect and I can make a jig up for making the cut in the bottles its just I am using opaque plastic at the moment and glass is easier on the higene thanks Ness thats a big help Cheers les
  18. sorry I dont have a comunity tank and thats out of ten tanks maby if I get inspierdsome day
  19. Hi Ness I ment to ask you what is the volume of the bottle you are holding up and at what age (stage) are they placed in them and then at what age are they moved on I know I have a lot of questions but I have a chanc at placing an order for flint glass bottles (like the ones you are holding) and they would take up less room than what I am using at the moment Cheers Les
