Abstract

Acacias were first introduced into Malaysia in the 1930s. Eight species : Acacia aulacocarpa A. auriculiformis A. crassicarpa A. farneciana A. holosericea A. mangium A. podalyriaefolia and A. richii are currently being planted for various purposes throughout Malaysia. A. mangium and A. auriculiformis are the most widely planted among the eight species. The weediness characters of Acacias enable them to establish well and fast even on degraded sites which is essential for greening of urban areas providing shade and for environmental conservation. In Malaysia Acacias have a bright future for amenity planting environmental conservation and wood production.
