Cracked bark isn’t a sign of a healthy tree?

Amber, I’ve added it in to the Plant Encyclopaedia. Take a look; you don’t need to add much data. I tend to leave it up to the GT plant team to fill in the details. Especially as what grows easily in Australia doesn’t necessarily in the rest of the world.

“...Acacia howittii is such a hardy and quick grower in cultivation...“ “...has been recorded to escape cultivation and occur as a weed* of bushland in south-eastern Australia and consideration should thus be given to its potential for invasiveness.” www.anbg.gov.au/gnp/gnp10/acacia-howittii.html
