Description and Uses
Acacia pycnantha (Golden wattle) is a
tropical
tree from
Northern Australia . It is mainly grown for its
tannin crops
, which have a
very long shelf life. The crop is harvested by
pruning. It starts flowering after
0 -
0 years. The yield will be

0 ckal/kg and the wood's drying speed is
{missing data}. After
24 years the
tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal.
Acacia pycnantha has a lifespan of
27 years.
