Blackwood Seeds – Acacia melanoxylon

Description

Blackwoods – Acacia dealbata – are shrubs and trees that grow to a medium height – 15 metres -with a rounded form and thick foliage to ground level. The foliage is an attractive mid green with yellow globular flowers in late winter followed by seed pods.

Blackwoods grow in a range of soils from sands and loams to clay, but they do prefer either part shade or a well watered climate. Attractive as both a specimen tree or a screen / windbreak that blocks most winds. Suitable to grow in a mixed windbreak or for mixed habitat as they provide good screening for birds to nest and avoid predators.

The timber is dark brown in colour and highly prized commanding high prices if grown with proper silviculture practices.

Package includes over 20 seeds in a recycled package, individually packed and selected. This product includes free postage.

We have been collecting native seed, growing and establishing native trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses since 1992, having personally planted and seeded more than a million native plants in over 500 projects. The shrubs selected are the best mix for the greatest variety of sites to establish habitat and improve properties across Tasmania and medium to high rainfall parts of southern Australia. Once established they are resistant to: short term drought, insect attack & tolerant of fire. They also offer your property protection against wind, heat, pest insect incursions (by building up native insect predators), a level of protection against bushfire by slowing the velocity of winds and seclusion from roads and neighbours.
