Grows on ranges in dry sclerophyll forests or woodlands, in skeletal granitic and sandstone soils. (Flora of Australia)

Dodonaea triangularis has proven highly successful in at least the mine rehabilitation contexts we have directly contributed to; however its use remains low because of its low production rates. This could be overcome. Production of seed is affected by competition for water in the dense Eucalyptus forest environments from where it is collected. Topography is usually ridges and mid-slopes.

Unfortunately, seed production from Dodonaea triangularis is relatively low. This has contributed to its absence from commercial seed offerings. At the time when it appears for collection there are simply too many other higher production subjects for collectors to target. Collection can be done by cutting branches or by shaking dry capsules into plastic bins and production rates are similar. We use both methods; the latter is lighter work, especially on rugged forest floors.
