Acacia Blackwood

Acacia Melanoxylon, “Australian Blackwood”

Acacia Blackwood is an iconic Australian tree famous for its timber which has been extensively used for quality specialist furniture since European settlement.

Growing to a large tree of over 10-15m, the Blackwood’s dense foliage makes it an ideal choice for a screen or windbreak with its pale yellow flowers blooming in Winter/Spring. Cold and frost tolerant with low flammability. Plant with Acacia Lightwood, which flowers in Summer, for year-round interest.
