Plant propagation
It is preferable to propagate plants by seeds rather than cuttings or by division. This ensures maximum genetic diversity is maintained.

Golden flowers in spring on a somewhat sparse shrub. It prefers dry clay soils in full sun. Used as Bushman's soap and medicinally.

Flower bud on Oakley Creek
First
Just four days later after the first flower's apperarance, with the addition of some sun-shower drops this particular morning, we got this show. (20Sep2015, Auckland)
Have had this (now) 2m+ high tree since it was a wee thing for about 4-5 years now. Still filling out, but it has height! Definitely likes the rubbish soil in this exposed spot in our front-garden.
