"Multistemmed, spreading, resinous shrub to 4 m high. Bark ‘Minni Ritchi’."

Acacia chisholmii is ubiquitous around the Mount Isa-Cloncurry region where we have profiled the taxon and collected its seed. Vast areas are covered by the spreading bushes. Although plentiful seed is produced after a reasonable wet season, the plant is difficult to work with because of the amount of resin it exudes. Seed and plant parts stick to everything they touch. This feature dissuades seed collectors from producing the seed. A solution is required here. Otherwise, the shrubs are easily approached and seed is collected from knee to chest height into bins secured around the waist.

Nick Tate is an accomplished geologist with much experience in the metals region around Mt Isa and Cloncurry. He has produced and interesting video about Turpentine Bush (linked below). In another enlightening video, "Copper Indicator Plants" Nick has focussed on metallophytes in the region. A number of Nick's videos are set in this metal mining region and capture passing footage of plant taxa covered by this website.
