Description and Uses
Acacia auriculiformis (Australian wattle) is a
tropical
tree from
Southern Australia . It is mainly grown for its
fodder crops
, which have a
medium shelf life. The crop is harvested by
pruning. It starts flowering after
0 -
0 years. The yield will be
{missing data}, but in its top season there will be a yield of
{missing data}. Other crop types include;
timber, fuel, apiculture, ornamental, fertilization, . The
{missing data} is used as
{missing data} . The
{missing data} is used as "
{missing data} " with
{missing data} ({missing data} -
{missing data}) as its significant
phytochemical. There is
{missing data} extracted by
{missing data} from the
tree's
{missing data} yielding
{missing data} -
{missing data} oil. The
tree's wood is called
{missing data} and has a density of
597 -
597 kg/m³. Regarding firewood production the
tree's growing speed is
fast, it's energetic value is
4700 ckal/kg and the wood's drying speed is
{missing data}. After
30 years the
tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal.
Acacia auriculiformis has a lifespan of
100 years.
Environmental limitations
The tree is
30 meters tall with a crown of
7 meters wide. The
tree prefers a planting distance of
300 cm and a row distance of
300 cm. It is
very fast growing and
partial shade tolerant.
Acacia auriculiformis has a
deep root-system and it has symbiotic associations with the
fungi
(endo and ecto mycorrhiza). It is
able to fix nitrogen moderately with
"Brucellaceae bacteria. The name(s) or string of bacteria include(s)
"not applicable ". The
tree's flower-morphology is
hermaphroditic and is pollinated by
wind.
Acacia auriculiformis is

{missing data} and has
no thorns.
Acacia auriculiformis thrives in an altitude of
0 to
1000 meters above sea-level
(tropical). The minimum temperature is
0°C; optimally between
24 -
38°C. The optimal rainfall is
3650
mm/year. Without irrigation the annual rainfall should be between
650 -
6000mm (L/m²). The optimal soil-pH is between
4.0 -
9.0 in a soil texture of
clay. To salt it is
