Perennial trees growing
to 10-25m high. Very fast growing, and live for 15-50 yrs. Regularly produce
large numbers of well-dispersed seeds. Seed viability is sufficiently long
to bridge the time between successive seedlings. Intolerant of shade. Most
of these species are found in the primary forest (exceptions being Acacia
melanoxylon, Alphitonia excelsa and Commersonia bartramia). |

Longest-lived (considerably
longer than 100 yrs), and the slowest growing of all species. Fruiting
is irregular and the seeds are usually less effectively dispersed than
those of Groups A – C. Seeds have very limited viability (a few weeks).
The seedlings are tolerant of shade. |
