melanoxylon

var.

Blackwood - Acacia melanoxylon is a common tree in South-eastern Australia, It is named for the dark heartwood of the tree which produces a timber much favoured in furniture making.

The tree can grow to 30m in height and has very dense dark green foliage. As a young tree it shows typical Acacia foliage, with bipinnate leaves, but these are quickly replaced by expanded leaf stalks known as phyllodes that resemble simple parallel-veined leaves.

More information about this species can be found on the genus page.
