Description and Uses
Acacia aneura (Mulga) is a
tropical
tree from
Northern 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;

{missing data} is used as
{missing data} . The
{missing data} is used as "

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
850 -
1,100 kg/m³. Regarding firewood production the
tree's growing speed is
slow, it's energetic value is
0 ckal/kg and the wood's drying speed is
{missing data}. After
35 years the
tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal.
Acacia aneura has a lifespan of
100 years.
Environmental limitations
The tree is
14 meters tall with a crown of
8 meters wide. The
tree prefers a planting distance of
300 cm and a row distance of
300 cm. It is
slow growing and
intolerant to shade.

fungi
(endo and ecto mycorrhiza). It is
able to fix nitrogen moderately with

tree's flower-morphology is
hermaphroditic and is pollinated by
wind.
