General Plant Info
Acacia acuminata, commonly known as the raspberry jam tree, fine leaf jam, "raspberry jam" or jam tree, is a shrub in the family Fabaceae. Endemic to Western Australia, it occurs throughout the south west of the State. It is common in the Wheatbelt, and also extends into the semi-arid interior.
Raspberry jam grows as a tall shrub or small tree. In ideal conditions it may grow to a height of ten metres, but in most of its distribution it does not grow above five metres. As with most Acacia species, it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. These are bright green, around ten centimetres long and about two millimetres wide, and finish in a long point. The lemon yellow flowers are held in tight cylindrical clusters about two centimetres long. The pods are light brown and flattened, about ten centimetres long and five millimetres wide.
Identification
Alkaloid content
Recent net lore indicates 0.5-1.2% alkaloid dimethyltryptamine in bark.
Other uses
The wood is hard and durable, with an attractive, reddish, close grain. It has been used extensively for fence posts,[1] for ornamental articles, and for high-load applications such as sheave blocks. The wood's "air dried" density is 1040 kg/m³.[2] It is also being used as a companion/host tree with sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) plantations in the Wheatbelt region [3]
Extraction teks
Cultivation / Growing conditions
Acacia acuminata has high frost tolerance and medium salt tolerance. It requires at least 250mm/year (9.8in./year) average rainfall.[4]
