Acacia mangium is a perennial tree native to Australia and Asia. There are several name given to this popular tree , such as Black Wattle, Hickory Wattle and Mangium. Its uses include environmental management and wood. This tree like most Acasia grows up to 30m tall, often with a relatively straight trunk. Regarded first as a rather productive timber tree, secondly for firewood (specific gravity = 0.65). The hard, light-brown wood is dense, with narrow sapwood and a straight, close grain. It makes excellent particle board and could possibly be useful for furniture such as cabinetmaking. When first selected as plant for reforestation program in Malaysia, the wood produced would be destined for a pulp factory in East Malaysia. Other  good points  about the plant is that sapling can be easily sown. A good a rapid solution for land to be reforested, as the tree appears quite promising for erosion control.
