Australian Babhul

Scientific Name:

Acacia auriculiformis

Commonly known as Australian Babul, this fast-growing tree is valued for its durable hardwood and its ability to improve soil fertility. It thrives in poor soils, tolerates drought and saline conditions, and requires full sunlight. The Australian Babul is widely used in reforestation efforts, as a shade tree, and in erosion control projects. Its robust nature makes it an essential species for restoring degraded land and promoting sustainable land management in arid and semi-arid regions.
