The Australian Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon) is an Acacia species native in eastern Australia. Known to some as Tasmanian Blackwood, this tree grows fast and tall, up to 45 m height. It has a wide ecological tolerance, occurring over an extensive range of soils and climatic conditions, but develops better in colder climates. Control of its invasion of natural vegetation, commercial timber plantations and farmland in several host counties incur considerable costs, but its timber value and nursing of natural forest succession provides a positive contribution. |
