Does anyone know what species of acacia this is made of? They all have different hardiness and I live in the tropics so need something resistant to i

Unfortunately, I do not know what species it is. It is a rather hard wood as opposed to pine, I would say its closer to say a Poplar or Maple. Up here in NJ we do get some pretty humid days (about 30 to 40 from June to August) and sometimes well into September but nothing like what you get in a Tropic Zone. We also get extreme cold as well in the winter. All I can add is that I keep mine outside under a covered porch away from rain and snow year round and the stools I purchased look as good as the day I got them.

I am not a wood expert, but they appear to be a birch variety? It is a fairly hard wood.... Not soft like Balsa or pine

I'll answer the best I can, I believe the cultivar is Oleifera, if I understand what a cultivar is. But I'm sure the www.globalmoringa.com site should answer your questions.

Don't know mine died. Most of the plants I ordered online don't make it out here in this heat, no matter how much I protect and water them. Sorry.

More like teak or ipe wood. Very tight grain and ultra resilient to the elements. I live in the northeast and have them lakeside at my tiki bar. I keep them out year round so they are exposed to lots of moisture and temps from 0-100 degrees. Had them for about a year and the are starting to fade (greying). I think if I hit them with some valspar or tung oil they'll look like new.

You need to goggle the type of tree you have. Then find out the zone it is tolerant in. Just like any plant they tolerate a maximum temperature and a minimum temperature. Living here in California the shrub does well. So for instance if you live where the temperature gets below the plant tolerance you need to bring it in. Remember when you bring it in does not mean it will do well. You might need some natural light or heat on it. The internet can tell you exactly what your plant needs including water. Good Luck

I would like more information about the material it is made from also. people who use these bags and the producer are probably interested in health, so I'm sure they've researched what is a very safe material? Hopefully. It would be nice to share that information.

My tree is now all brown and brittle. Don't know why. For several months it was growing fine and had visible new growth. Then it just stopped growing and everything turned brown, within a few days. Startling. I was advised to try putting it outside but I didn't see any improvement. Then the weather starting getting cold so I brought it back inside. I was also advised that this is really an outside plant. I would not recommend it for an office. Even in a house with the windows open and good sunlight and good humidity, mine didn't make it. Still am taking care of it. But my hope is waning that there will be a comeback. The Winter in Minnesota was not a factor. My tree is now all brown and brittle. Don't know why.

I had the same thought. This "cactus mix" is awful - it's very slow to take in water especially when it's dry (it's hydrophobic...water just pools on top of it) and when it finally decides to absorb the water, it won't let go. I was baffled that anyone would call this a "cactus mix." I ended up reading a lot of gardening forums and the general consensus is that a lot of cactus mixes have the same problem. I ended up getting Sun Gro Black Gold Cactus Mix instead based on what I read in the gardening forums, and that one has much better drainage.

Yipes, if it doesn't say it, I would not use it..African Violets are fragile I think! I would also go into Google to find what to feed them.. Good luck.

From my limited experience with gardening and deer in the northeast U.S. I must say that any purslane seems to vulnerable to deer feeding habits. If you really want to please the deer plant very expensive hosta hybrids,deer REALLY like these! Seriously though i wish you success in your deer aiding efforts. I'm sure you have a different agenda than North east gardeners.For us question is similar to asking "What food should I leave in my kitchen to best attract and enhance roach populations. Best luck in your quest!

zoysia is a hybrid. I suggest getting small amount and do a test of a small spot. zoysia is salt tolerant and it may be ok, but I would spot check before using turflon ester over the whole yard. D. Rogers

Frankincense is made from a Boswellia plant but it might not be this species. However, I think there are many similar phytochemicals. All Boswellia trees have resins that are known for their use as anti-inflammatory properties.

I just purchased this plant myself, but I live in zone 10 and it is advertised as requiring a warm climate. I would check on other websites that give you more detailed general care instructions to find your answer. Check the other sites first before ordering, but my plant from Amazon is very healthy and growing well, and the price was quite good.

Plants are rooted but I'm having a hard time with spider mites. I think it was infected by another plant and the mites have almost killed it twice. Over all the plant is as expected. I am hoping that it will flower this year or next, if the mites don't kill it.

I do not think it is species specific. Anything botanical (or biological) will will / die when subjected to that much heat. Like chemical herbicides, anything toughly rooted will require going back periodically to treat.

Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route. If you live in the South and winter temps don't go below 50, I'd put right in the ground. I planted mine in large (very large) decoratine pots and moved into the garage over winter -our winter temps run in the minus temps and only the strongest survive. My friends who had these plants live in the deep South so I assumed they prefer and thrive with the warmer temps dspite their claim that they are Northern hardy Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route.
