Hi all, Dirk has previously posted how this summer rainfall species has adopted a winter rainfall pattern of growth for him. I sowed seed of this species in May 2002 and it has remained in growth until the last couple of weeks and I now have to admit that the 5 seedlings appear to be entering dormancy. It has been very dry here with only about 40mm of rain since the end of September but I have been watering these seedlings regularly. By contrast B grandiflora seed sown in April this year is still growing strongly. I think Dirk mentioned that he continues to water the B grandiflora during their summer dormancy. Can you verify this Dirk ? Cheers, Rob in Tasmania
