Acacia auriculiformis is an evergreen tree that grows between to 15-30 m tall, with a trunk up to 12 m long and 50 cm in diameter. It has dense foliage with an open, spreading crown. The trunk is crooked and the bark vertically fissured. Roots are shallow and spreading.
Leaves reduced to flattened leaf stalks called phyllodes, an adaptation to drought and hot climate. Phyllodes are green and serve as leaves. Grown on wastelands as it contains nitrogen-fixing bacteria which can rejuvenate soils poor in nutrients. Prevents soil erosion due to extensive dense roots and heavy leaf litter.
A. auriculiformis occurs from near sea level to 400 m, but is most common at elevation less than 80 m. It is predominantly found in the seasonally dry tropical lowlands in the humid and sub-humid zones.
