Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Australian Blackwood, Acacia melanoxylon
One of Australia's most structurally impressive native trees, the Australian Blackwood delivers rapid canopy development, year-round evergreen presence, and one of the most prized hardwoods in the country. At advanced sizes, it commands immediate authority in any landscape.
Why Australian Blackwood
Rapid Canopy Establishment: Reaches 15 to 30m at maturity, with advanced stock delivering a commanding presence from day one.
Distinctive Spring Flowering: Delicate golden-yellow blooms emerge in spring, adding seasonal contrast to large-scale plantings.
Dense Evergreen Canopy: Rich, dark foliage provides consistent shade and visual weight throughout the year.
Premium Hardwood Qualities: The fine-grained, dark timber is among the most sought-after native hardwoods in Australia, adding long-term value to rural and commercial properties.
Exceptional Climate Tolerance: Performs across a broad range of conditions including drought, coastal exposure, and light frost.
Ideal Applications
Signature Shade Tree: Provides broad, cooling canopy coverage for estate grounds, courtyards, and open landscapes.
Windbreak and Shelterbelt: An established choice for rural and semi-rural properties requiring structural wind protection and soil stabilisation.
Agroforestry and Timber Planting: A long-term investment for properties integrating productive hardwood forestry with landscape design.
Revegetation and Habitat Corridors: Supports native fauna and strengthens ecological continuity across large-scale development sites.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 3 to 5m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 8 to 12m
Best Planting Season: Autumn to spring, avoiding frost periods
Soil & Drainage: Adaptable to a wide range of soils including clay, loam and sandy soils; prefers well-drained but tolerates moderately poor drainage
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly for the first 1 to 2 years until established, then reduce to occasional deep watering during dry periods. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
