Acacia mangium is a large, fast-growing tropical tree widely planted across the warmer, higher-rainfall regions of India for industrial forestry. It develops a straight, well-formed bole with large, dark green, prominently veined phyllodes and creamy-white flower spikes followed by coiled pods.
It is grown chiefly for pulpwood, plywood and reconstituted-board timber and for fuelwood, and as a vigorous nitrogen-fixing pioneer it is used to rehabilitate degraded grasslands and infertile, eroded soils. Its rapid growth and tolerance of poor, acidic sites have made it a mainstay of plantation and farm-forestry woodlots.
- Family: Fabaceae (Leguminosae)
- Native region: northern Australia, Papua New Guinea and eastern Indonesia
- Mature height: 25-30 m
- Growth rate: very fast
The hard-coated seeds germinate well after a hot-water treatment: pour near-boiling water over them and soak as it cools for 12-24 hours. Sow the swollen seeds about 1 cm deep in a light nursery medium; germination typically takes 7-14 days. Raise the seedlings in poly bags and transplant at the onset of the monsoon.
