UsesAcacia longifolia is widely cultivated in subtropical regions of the world. Its uses include prevention of soil erosion, food (flowers, seeds and seed pods), yellow dye (from the flowers), green dye (pods) and wood.[5] The flower colour derives from the organic compound kaempferol.[6] The tree's bark has limited use in tanning, primarily for sheepskin. It is useful for securing unihabited sand in coastal areas, primarily where there are not too many hard frosts.[7] Phytochemistry
