i guess it must be a fast grower but acacia are really fast at building roots to hold the dirt... i am in #madeira now and there is a LOT of eucalyptus and acacia and i get why... they are extremely aggressive at root growth and stop landslides and shit

only problem is they both tend to promote forest fires

I'm in the tropics and forest fire is likelihood. We get about 200 inches of rain or more per year.

you mean unlikely?

acacias don't propagate well without fire so they are pretty safe to plant, you have to soak the seeds and score them with a blade to make them sprout

they have a symbiosis with eucalyptus in australia because eucalyptus literally ooze the nearest thing to gasoline constantly

"low likelihood"
