My problem is twofold (says she portentously.... - sorry!)1 - I don't like using chemicals unless I absolutely have to....2 - to use anything...
It is a bit late, but if you plant them, then, if you protect them they'll be ok for next year. I'm in Scotland, and I've got loads that did ok...
I did have a thought, that maybe the bark splitting was a normal thing...... and that could well be - have a look here.......
Since all the acacias come from notoriously dry parts of the world, it's surprising that lack of water would do this...... so surely it's likely...
Yes, they are the people who produce the Strep food that I've got - a good source, forgot about that one, KF! ;) :D
And now it's time for the pond and wildlife area to mature...... (Apologies for picture quality - can't find the camera, so used the mobile...

It's not a pest or disease in the normal sense, but I don't want to call it a wildflower or herb!! So I'm posting this in here, and if needs to...
I googled and found this fantastic site - it's Polish, but in English! Really informative....
I tend to be a bit wary, after coming across a rose, where new stems looked so incredibly like a sucker, so very different from the main rose, but...
DITTO!!!
Oh, and there's a lot of gypsophila, statice, asters (ostrich feathers), calendula, lupins....... and I can just about get into my 8x12 greenhouse...
