"Tree 6–30 (–45) m high, sometimes a shrub 1.5–3 m high, may spread by root suckers; bipinnate leaves often persist on young plants. Bark hard, fissured and somewhat scaly." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)

"Grows in a diversity of habitats, but favours fertile soils in valleys and on flats in mountainous areas, often growing in wet sclerophyll forest and cooler rainforest. In north-western Tas. A. melanoxylon grows as a tall dominant tree in forested seasonal swamps." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)
