Description
Acacia bakeri is probably the largest of all Australia Acacias, being recorded as able to grow to 50 metres tall, though most specimens are much shorter now due to clearing and this species slow but steady growth rate.
Its distribution extends from the Brunswick River in NSW to near the Burrum River in the Maryborough district, Qld. It occurs in lowland subtropical rainforest and rainforest margins, in volcanic and alluvial soil. Because of extensive clearing of rainforests, this species is possibly in danger of extinction. Info at world wide wattle.
