Found in northern Australia, it is one of our indigenous bush foods. Grows best in full sun. It is a very attractive fast-growing tree, 10-12m high, with soft wood and dense glossy dark green leaves. In sub-tropical regions it is briefly deciduous. It does not tolerate water logging and best growth occurs in good draining mildly acid soils and sandy loams. As a bush food occurring in wild stands only, little is known about its fertiliser needs. However, it usually forms a very effective mycorrhizal association which allows it to grow well in many infertile sands and soils.Nuts are eaten as a snackfood either raw or roasted. This fast growing ornamental tree provides shade in the summer and mulch from falling leaves in the winter. 
Twig bark is strong and fibrous and used by Aborigines in basket making. In traditional medicine the inner bark is infused and applied as an eyewash, and roots and leaves have been used in treating stings and wounds. Butterfly host plant for the for the Common Blue Pencil butterfly.
