Its lumber turns pitch black when oiled. Common names of the tree include Blackthorn and Swaarthaak ([[Afrikaans]]). '''''Acacia mellifera''''' is found in the dry areas of [[Africa]], the [[Arabian Peninsula]], [[India]] and in the [[Indian Ocean]] area.<ref name="ILDIS">What goes here?</ref> ''Acacia mellifera'' can manifest itself either as a multi-trunked bush up to seven meters high with more or less a funnel-shaped crown, but also as a small single-trunked tree, which can reach a height of up to nine meters. This kind of acacia can reproduce by seed formation and by stick excursion to form an impenetrable [[thicket]] of several hundred individuals. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== Subspecies: *[[Acacia mellifera subsp. detinens|''Acacia mellifera'' (Vahl)Benth. subsp.
