Acacia melanoxylon ‘ Blackwood ‘
Wattle

Acacia melanoxylon (Blackwood) is a fast-growing evergreen tree valued for its attractive foliage, strong timber, and adaptability in a range of landscapes. It develops a tall, upright form with a spreading canopy, making it suitable as a shade tree or feature tree in larger gardens and parklands.

The tree produces dark green, lance-shaped leaves (phyllodes) that create a dense and graceful canopy. During the flowering season, it bears small, creamy to pale yellow ball-shaped flowers that appear in clusters, adding subtle beauty and attracting bees and other pollinators.

Blackwood is known for its vigorous growth and hardy nature, thriving best in full sun and well-drained soil. It can tolerate a variety of soil types and environmental conditions once established, making it a reliable tree for many landscapes.

Because of its attractive foliage and strong growth habit, Acacia melanoxylon is often planted as a shade tree, windbreak, or feature tree in parks, large gardens, and rural landscapes. It is also well known for producing high-quality dark timber, commonly used in furniture and woodworking.
