^..thanks Hieronymous..at least Jurema is grown in plantation (though the legal restriction pressure mounts)
A. neurophylla was announced by researcher JJ and published by S. Voogelbriender a few years ago..it seems quite fast growing and very hardy, as well as consistent..also, it tends to become quite bushy with many branches, hence producing more material per metre than a more upright tree..if you google there's perhaps 3-4 large seed company suppliers..
..the reason A. obtusifolia didn't make the list is due to how slow growing it is..the hybrid with A. maidenii is much faster..i would rate obtusifolia as one of the slowest growing acacias, which is why wild population damage is so upsetting..whereas i've gotten other species to 6-7ft in 3-4 years, i have grown obtusifolia which has taken twice that long (in identical conditions) ..btw, as mentioned in the acacia infothread, i personally divide obtusifolia into 4 distinct sub-types..the suggestion of maidenii x obtusifolia is for plant breeders to develop trees more suited to fast cultivation..
..last up, Acacia species 'C' (i assume you're referring to) would be a very good tree to grow, but is so rare there isn't even much seed stock available..needs to be planted more by conservation types to increase seed stock..
