MORE about the Wattle Tree: used in South Africa commercially for valuable tannin extract (leather tanning, adhesives), timber (pulp, fuel, furniture, charcoal), and as shade/fodder for livestock; however, Black Wattle is also a major invasive species, leading to controlled harvesting and repurposing of cleared trees for firewood and charcoal by communities. Traditional medicine also uses various wattle parts for ailments like wounds, stomach issues, and toothaches, while flowers support beekeeping.
