Acacia acuminata Root Bark (Whole)

Whole Acacia Acuminata Root Bark, Cleaned and Dried Only

Our Acacia acuminata root bark comes from mature trees of Acacia acuminata, the Australian wattle also known as jam wattle or raspberry jam wattle. We simply clean the bark and dry it in whole pieces, so there are no chemicals, additives or extraction steps. As a result, you get authentic, unprocessed root bark that keeps its natural structure, texture and color for botanical collections, study and reference.

Because we leave the bark whole, each piece shows its original fibrous layers, so it is easy to examine and compare. In addition, we inspect every batch and seal it with a lot number. You can choose 200 g, 300 g, 400 g, 500 g or 1 kg, and orders over $300 also ship free with tracking.

What Is Acacia Acuminata?

Acacia acuminata is a hardy wattle in the legume family (Fabaceae), native to the south-west of Western Australia. It grows as a tall shrub or small tree, usually up to about 7 meters, and it thrives in dry, semi-arid country such as the Wheatbelt. Instead of true leaves, it has narrow, flattened stems called phyllodes. In addition, it produces bright yellow flower spikes in late winter and spring. Its nickname “raspberry jam” comes from the fruity scent of its freshly cut wood. For more background, see the species page on Wikipedia.

Why Choose Our Acacia Acuminata Root Bark?

What to Expect From Each Batch

Since this is a natural, unprocessed product, every batch varies a little. For example, here is what you can expect:

• Color: warm reddish-brown to darker brown. However, the exact shade changes with the age and growing conditions of the trees.
• Texture: firm, fibrous whole pieces, so they hold their shape well.
• Thickness: pieces vary in thickness, which is normal for whole root bark.
• Aroma: a dry, woody, earthy scent, but never musty or sour.

• Study and identification: whole pieces also make a useful reference, especially for comparing bark structure.
• Herbarium and archives: sealed, labeled packs suit long-term reference collections, too.
• Natural dye and craft: in addition, acacia barks are traditionally valued by natural dyers and craft makers.

Which Size Should I Choose?

The 200 g pack suits a first sample, while the 300 g to 500 g sizes work well for personal collections. Meanwhile, the 1 kg pack gives the best value per gram for larger projects. For bigger orders, however, you can request a wholesale quote.

Free shipping over $300. You can also combine your order with Brazilian Mimosa hostilis root bark powder or Mexican Mimosa hostilis root bark to qualify.

How to Store Acacia Acuminata Root Bark

• First, keep it in an airtight glass jar or sealed container.
• Then store it somewhere cool, dry and dark, away from heat.
• Also check it now and then for moisture or pests.
• Finally, avoid the fridge or freezer, because condensation can damage dried bark.

When you store it this way, your Acacia acuminata root bark keeps its natural appearance and texture for years.
