Acacia mangium is a species of flowering tree in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to northeastern Queensland in Australia, the Western Province of Papua New Guinea, Papua, and the eastern Maluku Islands.

[6] To break down dormancy mature seed requires pre-germination treatments, such as mechanical scarification (scratching the surface) or boiling water.

Because the timber is extremely heavy, hard, very strong, tough, and not liable to warp and crack badly, so it is used for furniture, doors and window frames.

The glossy and smooth surface finish after polishing also leads to a potential for making export-oriented parquet flooring tiles and artifacts.

[12] Due to the fact that it is a very fast growing tree, it develops an intensive rooting system, particularly in low fertility soils.
